On RHEL8 and LP cli 1.3.6 we are getting: Error: Unable to fetch blob.

Question

Recently, on RHEL8 with LP cli 1.3.6, we've encountered the following error:

Error: Unable to fetch blob. Either your session is invalid and you need to login with `lpass login`, you need to synchronize, your blob is empty, or there is something wrong with your internet connection.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

We have attempted various solutions such as checking the internet connection, synchronizing LastPass, checking for updates, clearing the local cache, and enabling verbose logging.

Looks like the CLI needs an update: https://support.lastpass.com/s/question/0D5TP00000GhBH10AN/on-rhel8-and-lp-cli-136-we-are-getting-error-unable-to-fetch-blob?language=en_US&t=1719991269331

Hi, We are getting the same error across our environments (including PRODUCTION) when trying to read last pass entries via CLI (version 1.3.6). We are using a Docker container that is based on Debian Buster. ``` root@7ea1784a17f0:/usr/src/app# lpass --version LastPass CLI v1.3.6 root@7ea1784a17f0:/usr/src/app# ls -hal $HOME/.lpass total 64K drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Jul3 07:17 . drwx------ 9 root root 4.0K Jul3 07:09 .. srwx------ 1 root root0 Jul3 07:16 agent.sock -rw------- 1 root root22K Jul3 07:17 blob -rw------- 1 root root6 Jul3 07:16 iterations -rw------- 1 root root 1.3K Jul3 07:16 session_privatekey -rw------- 1 root root 12 Jul3 07:16 session_server -rw------- 1 root root 80 Jul3 07:16 session_sessionid -rw------- 1 root root128 Jul3 07:16 session_token -rw------- 1 root root 64 Jul3 07:16 session_uid -rw------- 1 root root 31 Jul3 07:16 username -rw------- 1 root root 96 Jul3 07:16 verify root@7ea1784a17f0:/usr/src/app# export LPASS_ASKPASS=$(pwd)/scripts/askpass.sh root@7ea1784a17f0:/usr/src/app# lpass login $LPASS_USERNAME Success: Logged in as . root@7ea1784a17f0:/usr/src/app# lpass show -G "" Error: Unable to fetch blob.

This is affecting us and we did not change anything in our environment/setup in the past few months.
