[1.0.3 / 5.55.3] - 2021-12-??

Added

  • added mechanism to hook win32 syscalls, this shoudl resolve the issue with chrome HW acceleration -- to enable add "EnableWin32kHooks=y" to the global ini section, this feature is highly experimental (!) -- the hooks will be automatically applied to chrome gpu processes -- to force win32k hooks for all processes in a selected box add "AlwaysUseWin32kHooks=y"

  • fixed bug in GetVersionExW making "OverrideOsBuild=..." not working
  • fixed issue with some utf8 charakters when usded in the ini file

[1.0.1 / 5.55.1] - 2021-12-06

Added

  • added checkboxes to most major box options lists
  • added SumatraPDF templates (by Dyras) #1391

Changed

  • rolled back change to "OpenClsid=..." handling
  • made all major lists in the box options editable

Fixed

  • fixed SetCursorPos and ClipCursor ignoring DPI awareness (by alvinhochun) #1394

Removed

  • removed Virtual Desktop Manager template (by isaak654) d775807 #1326

[1.0.0 / 5.55.0] - 2021-11-17

Added

  • added Privacy enhanced mode, sandboxes with "UsePrivacyMode=y" will not allow read access to locations containing user data -- all locations except generic Windows system paths will need to be opened explicitly for read and/or write access -- using "NormalFilePath=...", "NormalKeyPath=...", "NormalIpcPath=..." allows to open locations to be readable and sandboxed

  • added new "App Compartment" mode of operation, it is enabled by adding "NoSecurityIsolation=y" to the box configuration -- in this mode, security is traded in for compatibility, it should not be used for untrusted applications -- note: in this mode, file and registry filtering are still in place, hence processes run without administrative privileges -- it is reasonably safe, all filtering can be disabled with "NoSecurityFiltering=y"

  • added experimental use of ObRegisterCallbacks to filter object creation and duplication -- this filtering is independent from the regular SbieDrv's syscall-based filtering, hence it also applies to App Compartments -- with it enabled, an application running in a compartment will not be able to manipulate processes running outside the sandbox -- Note: this feature improves the security of unisolated App Compartment boxes -- to enable this feature, set "EnableObjectFiltering=y" in the global section and reload the driver -- when globally activated, the filtering can be disabled for individual boxes with "DisableObjectFilter=y"

  • added "DontOpenForBoxed=n", this option disables the discrimination of boxed processes for open file and open key directives -- this behaviour does not really improve security anyways, but may be annoying, also app compartments always disable this

  • added setting to entirely open access to the COM infrastructure

Changed

  • reworked the resource access path matching mechanism to optionally apply more specific rules over less specific ones -- for example "OpenFilePath=C:\User\Me\AppData\Firefox takes precedence over "WriteFilePath=C:\User\Me" -- to enable this new behaviour, add "UseRuleSpecificity=y" to your Sandboxie.ini, this behaviour is always enabled in Privacy enhanced mode -- added "NormalFilePath=..." to restore default Sandboxie behaviour on a given path -- added "OpenConfPath=...", which similarly to "OpenPipePath=..." is a "OpenKeyPath=..." variant which applies to executables located in the sandbox
  • removed option to copy a box during creation, instead the box context menu offers a duplication option
  • reworked the box creation dialog to offer new box types

Fixed

  • fixed SBIE1401 notification during Sandboxie Plus uninstall (by mpheath) 68fa37d

[0.9.0 / 5.51.0] - 2021-07-29 (pre-release)

Added

  • added support for Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) to be used instead of the device-based network blocking scheme -- to enable this support, add 'NetworkEnableWFP=y' to the global section and reboot or reload the driver -- to use WFP for a specific sandbox, add 'AllowNetworkAccess=n' -- you can allow certain processes by using 'AllowNetworkAccess=program.exe,y' -- you can also enable this policy globally by adding 'AllowNetworkAccess=n' to the global section -- in this case you can exempt entire sandboxes by adding 'AllowNetworkAccess=y' to specific boxes -- you can block certain processes by using 'AllowNetworkAccess=program.exe,n' -- Note: WFP is less absolute than the old approach, using WFP will filter only TCP/UDP communication -- restricted boxed processes will still be able to resolve domain names using the system service -- however, they will not be able to send or receive data packets directly -- the advantages of WFP is that filter rules can be implemented by restricting communication only to specified addresses or selected ports using "NetworkAccess=..."
  • added fully functional rule-based packet filter in user mode for the case when "NetworkEnableWFP=y" is not set -- the mechanism replaces the old "BlockPort=..." functionality -- Note: this filter applies only to outgoing connections/traffic, for incoming traffic either the WFP mode or a third-party firewall is needed -- like the old user mode based mechanism, malicious applications can bypass it by unhooking certain functions -- hence it's recommended to use the kernel mode WFP-based mechanism when reliable isolation is required
  • added new trace option "NetFwTrace=*" to trace the actions of the firewall components -- please note that the driver only trace logs the kernel debug output, use DbgView.exe to log
  • API_QUERY_PROCESS_INFO can now be used to get the impersonation token of a sandboxed thread -- Note: this capability is used by TaskExplorer to allow inspecting sandbox-internal tokens -- Note: a process must have administrative privileges to be able to use this API
  • added a UI option to switch "MsiInstallerExemptions=y" on and off -- just in case a future Windows build breaks something in the systemless mode
  • added sample code for ObRegisterCallbacks to the driver
  • added new debug options "DisableFileFilter=y" and "DisableKeyFilter=y" that allow to disable file and registry filtering -- Note: these options are for testing only and disable core parts of the sandbox isolation
  • added a few command line options to SandMan.exe

Changed

  • greatly improved the performance of the trace log, but it's no longer possible to log to both SandMan and SbieCtrl at the same time
  • reworked process creation code to use PsSetCreateProcessNotifyRoutineEx and improved process termination

Fixed

  • added missing hook for ConnectEx function

[0.8.8 / 5.50.8] - 2021-07-13

Changed

  • MSIServer no longer requires being run as system; this completes the move to not use system tokens in a sandbox by default -- the security-enhanced option "MsiInstallerExemptions=n" is now the default behaviour

Fixed

  • fixed issue with the "Explore Sandboxed" command #972
  • rolled back the switch from using NtQueryKey to NtQueryObject as it seems to break some older Windows 10 versions like 1803 #984 -- this change was introduced to fix #951 -- to use NtQueryObject the option "UseObjectNameForKeys=y" can be added to Sandboxie.ini

[0.8.7b / 5.50.7] - 2021-07-11

Fixed

  • fixed issue with boxes that had auto-delete activated introduced in the previous build #986

[0.8.7 / 5.50.7] - 2021-07-10

Added

  • added option to always auto-pick the DefaultBox #959 -- when this option is enabled, the normal behaviour with a box selection dialog can be brought up by holding down CTRL
  • added option to hide a sandbox from the "run in box" dialog -- useful to avoid listing insecure compatibility test boxes for example
  • added box options to system tray #439 #272

Changed

Fixed

  • fixed performance bug introduced in 0.8.5

[0.8.5 / 5.50.5] - 2021-07-06

Added

  • added global hotkey to terminate all sandboxed processes (default: Ctrl+Pause)
  • the Run Sandboxed dialog can now be handled by the SandMan UI
  • added "AllowBoxedJobs=y" allowing boxed processes to use nested jobs on Windows 8 and later -- Note: this allows Chrome and other programs to use the job system for additional isolation
  • added Librewolf.exe to the list of Firefox derivatives #927
  • added run regedit sandboxed menu command
  • added new support settings tab to SandMan UI for updates and news
  • added code integrity verification to Sbie service and UI
  • added template for Vivaldi Notes (by isaak654) #948

Changed

  • replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation -- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2µs regardless of the running process count -- The old list, with 100 programs running required 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall -- Note: some of the slowdown was also affecting non-sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks
  • replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
  • replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000 -- not yet enabled in production build
  • the presence of the default box is only checked on connect
  • the portable directory dialog now shows the directory #924
  • when terminated, boxed processes now first try doing that by terminating the job object
  • the driver now can terminate problematic processes by default without the help of the service
  • the box delete routine now retries up to 10 times, see #954
  • replaced the Process List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation
  • replaced the per-process Thread List used by the service with a much faster Hash Map implementation

  • fixed an issue deleting directories introduced in 5.49.5
  • fixed an issue when creating box copies

Removed

  • removed switch for "BlockPassword=n" as it does not seem to be working #938 -- it's recommended to use "OpenSamEndpoint=y" to allow password changes in Windows 10

[0.8.2 / 5.50.2] - 2021-06-15

Changed

  • split anti-phishing rules per browser (by isaak654) #910

[0.8.0 / 5.50.0] - 2021-06-13

Added

  • Normally Sandboxie applies "Close...=!,..." directives to non-excluded images if they are located in a sandbox -- added 'AlwaysCloseForBoxed=n' to disable this behaviour as it may not be always desired, and it doesn't provide extra security
  • added process image information to SandMan UI
  • localized template categories in the Plus UI #727
  • added "DisableResourceMonitor=y" to disable resource access monitor for selected boxes #886
  • added option to show trace entries only for the selected sandbox #886
  • added "UseVolumeSerialNumbers=y" that allows drive letters to be suffixed with the volume SN in the \drive\ sandbox location -- it helps to avoid files mixed together on multiple pendrives using the same letter -- Note: this option is not compatible with the recovery function of the Classic UI, only SandMan UI is fully compatible
  • added "ForceRestart=PicoTorrent.exe" to the PicoTorrent template in order to fix a compatibility issue #720
  • added localization support for RPC templates (by isaak654) #736

Added

  • enhanced RpcMgmtSetComTimeout handling with "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll,n" -- this option allows to specify if RpcMgmtSetComTimeout should be used or not for each individual dll -- this setting takes precedence over hard-coded and per-process presets -- "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll" and "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll,y" are equivalent
  • added "FakeAdminRights=y" option that makes processes think they have admin permissions in a given box -- this option is recommended to be used in combination with "DropAdminRights=y" to improve security -- with "FakeAdminRights=y" and "DropAdminRights=y" installers should still work

Changed

  • legacy language files can now be UTF8 encoded
  • reworked file migration behaviour, removed hardcoded lists in favour of templates #441 -- you can now use "CopyAlways=", "DontCopy=" and "CopyEmpty=" that support the same syntax as "OpenFilePath=" -- "CopyBlockDenyWrite=program.exe,y" makes a write open call to a file that won't be copied fail instead of turning it read-only

[0.5.4 / 5.46.0] - 2021-01-06

Added

  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: Sandboxie now strips particularly problematic privileges from sandboxed system tokens -- with those a process could attempt to bypass the sandbox isolation (thanks Diversenok) -- old legacy behaviour can be enabled with "StripSystemPrivileges=n" (absolutely NOT Recommended)
  • added new isolation options "ClosePrintSpooler=y" and "OpenSmartCard=n" -- those resources are open by default, but for a hardened box it is desired to close them

  • added more compatibility templates (thanks isaak654) #294

Changed

[0.3 / 5.42] - 2020-07-04

  • added process id to log messages very useful for debugging
  • added finder to resource log
  • added option to hide host processes "HideHostProcess=[name]" -- Note: Sbie hides by default processes from other boxes, this behaviour can now be controlled with "HideOtherBoxes=n"

  • Built In Clsid whitelist can now be disabled with "OpenDefaultClsid=n"
  • Processes can be now terminated with the del key, and require a confirmation
  • added sandboxed window border display to SandMan.exe
  • added notification for Sbie log messages

  • added path column to SbieModel

  • fixed missing initialization in service server that caused sandboxed programs to crash when querying service status
  • fixed many bugs that caused the SbieDrv.sys to BSOD when running with Driver Verifier enabled #57 -- 0xF6 in GetThreadTokenOwnerPid and File_Api_Rename -- missing non optional parameter for FltGetFileNameInformation in File_PreOperation -- 0xE3 in Key_StoreValue and Key_PreDataInject

[0.2.2 / 5.41.2] - 2020-06-19

Added

  • added option SeparateUserFolders=n to no longer have the user profile files stored separately in the sandbox
  • added SandboxieLogon=y it makes processes run under the SID of the "Sandboxie" user instead of the Anonymous user -- Note: the global option AllowSandboxieLogon=y must be enabled, the "Sandboxie" user account must be manually created first and the driver reloaded, else process start will fail

Changed

  • SbieDll.dll when processing InjectDll now looks in the SbieHome folder for the DLLs if the entered path starts with a backslash -- i.e. "InjectDll=\LogAPI\i386\logapi32v.dll" or "InjectDll64=\LogAPI\amd64\logapi64v.dll"

Fixed

  • IniWatcher did not work in portable mode
