Sure. All current wallets and password managers have the same issue. The 
only way to prevent unsandboxed applications from accessing encrypted 
password manager databases is to store them on a separate hardware token 
or TPM chip, which is not possible today because the number of slots on 
such devices is very limited.

Storing the primary encryption key on a hardware token is better, but 
the unsandboxed application will still be able to read the wallet's 
memory, extract the KEK from there, and then decrypt the database.
