Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[0.8.1 / 5.50.1] - 2021-06-14

Fixed

  • fixed an issue with driver verifyer and user handles
  • fixed driver memory leak of FLT_FILE_NAME_INFORMATION objects
  • fixed broken clipboard introduced in 5.50.0
  • fixed dcom launch issue on windows 7 32 bit introduced in 5.50.0

[0.8.0 / 5.50.0] - 2021-06-13

Added

  • Sandboxie now applies by default "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
  • added "DisableResourceMonitor=y" to disable resource access monitor for selected boxes
  • added option to show trace entries only for the selected sandbox
  • 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

Changed

  • portable cleanup message now has y/n/c options
  • consolidated Proc_CreateProcessInternalW and Proc_CreateProcessInternalW_RS5 to remove duplicate code
  • the ElevateCreateProcess fix, as sometimes applied by the Program Compatibility Assistant, will no longer be emulated by default -- use 'ApplyElevateCreateProcessFix=y' or 'ApplyElevateCreateProcessFix=program.exe,y' to enable it
  • trace log gets disabled only when it has no entries and the logging is stopped

Fixed

  • fixed APC issue with the new global hook emulation mechanism and WoW64 processes
  • fixed IPv6 issues with BlockPort options
  • fixed an issue with CheatEngine when "OpenWinClass=*" was specified
  • fixed memory corruption in SbieDrv
  • fixed crash issue with process elevation on CreateProcess calls

[0.7.4 / 5.49.7] - 2021-04-11

Added

  • added option to disable file migration prompt in the Plus UI
  • added UI options for various security isolation features
  • added missing functionality to set template values in the Plus UI

[0.7.3 / 5.49.5] - 2021-03-27

Added

  • added "UseSbieWndStation=y" to emulate CreateDesktop for selected processes, not only Firefox and Chrome
  • added option to drop the console host process integrity, now you can use "DropConHostIntegrity=y"
  • added option to easily add local templates

Changed

  • reworked window hooking mechanism to improve performance -- resolves issues with file save dialogues taking 30+ seconds to open -- this fix greatly improves the win32 GUI performance of sandboxed processes
  • reworked RPC resolver to be ini-configurable -- the following options are now deprecated: --- "UseRpcMgmtSetComTimeout=some.dll,n", so use "RpcPortBinding=some.dll,*,TimeOut=y" --- "OpenUPnP=y", "OpenBluetooth=y", "OpenSmartCard=n", so use the new RPC templates instead -- See Templates.ini for usage examples

Fixed

  • fixed process-specific hooks being applied to all processes in a given sandbox
  • fixed issue with messages and templates sometimes not being properly displayed in the SandMan UI
  • fixed issue with compatibility settings not being applied properly

  • fixed issue when using runas to start a process that was created outside of the Sandboxie supervision -- since the runas facility is not accessible by default, this did not constitute a security issue -- to enable runas functionality, add "OpenIpcPath=\RPC Control\SECLOGON" to your Sandboxie.ini -- please take note that doing so may open other yet unknown issues
  • fixed a driver compatibility issue with Windows 10 32 bit Insider Preview Build 21337
  • fixed issues with driver signature for Windows 7

[0.7.2 / 5.49.0] - 2021-03-04

Added

  • added option to alter reported Windows version "OverrideOsBuild=7601" for Windows 7 SP1

Changed

  • SandboxieCrypto now always migrates the CatRoot2 files in order to prevent locking of real files
  • greatly improved trace log performance
  • MSI Server can now run with the "FakeAdminRights=y" and "DropAdminRights=y" options -- special service allowance for the MSI Server can be disabled with "MsiInstallerExemptions=n"
  • changed SCM access check behaviour; non elevated users can now start services with a user token -- elevation is now only required to start services with a system token
  • reworked the trace log mechanism to be more verbose
  • reworked RPC mechanism to be more flexible

Fixed

  • fixed issues with some installers introduced in 5.48.0
  • fixed "add user to sandbox" in the Plus UI

  • Classic UI no longer allows to create a sandbox with an invalid or reserved device name

[0.7.1 / 5.48.5] - 2021-02-21

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
  • added RPC support for SSDP API (the Simple Service Discovery Protocol), you can enable it with "OpenUPnP=y"

Changed

  • SbieCrypto no longer triggers message 1313
  • changed enum process API; now more than 511 processes per box can be enumerated (no limit)
  • reorganized box settings a bit

Fixed

  • fixed issues with webcam access when the DevCMApi filtering is in place
  • fixed issue with free download manager for 'AppXDeploymentClient.dll', so RpcMgmtSetComTimeout=y will be used by default for this one
  • fixed not all WinRM files were blocked by the driver, with "BlockWinRM=n" this file block can be disabled

[0.7.0 / 5.48.0] - 2021-02-14

Added

  • sandboxed indicator for tray icons, the tooltip now contains [#] if enabled
  • the trace log buffer can now be adjusted with "TraceBufferPages=2560" -- the value denotes the count of 4K large pages to be used; here for a total of 10 MB
  • new functionality for the list finder

Changed

  • improved RPC debugging
  • improved IPC handling around RpcMgmtSetComTimeout; "RpcMgmtSetComTimeout=n" is now the default behaviour -- required exceptions have been hard-coded for specific calling DLLs
  • the LogApi dll is now using Sbie's tracing facility to log events instead of its own pipe server

Fixed

  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: elevated sandboxed processes could access volumes/disks for reading (thanks hg421) -- this protection option can be disabled by using "AllowRawDiskRead=y"
  • fixed crash issue around SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID observed with GoogleUpdate.exe
  • fixed issue with Resource Monitor sort by timestamp
  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: a race condition in the driver allowed to obtain an elevated rights handle to a process (thanks typpos)
  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: "\RPC Control\samss lpc" is now filtered by the driver (thanks hg421) -- this allowed elevated processes to change passwords, delete users and alike; to disable filtering use "OpenSamEndpoint=y"
  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: "\Device\DeviceApi\CMApi" is now filtered by the driver (thanks hg421) -- this allowed elevated processes to change hardware configuration; to disable filtering use "OpenDevCMApi=y"

[0.6.7 / 5.47.1] - 2021-02-01

Added

  • added UI language auto-detection

Fixed

  • fixed Brave.exe now being properly recognized as Chrome-, not Firefox-based

  • fixed grouping issues
  • fixed main window restore state from tray

[0.6.5 / 5.47.0] - 2021-01-31

Added

  • added detection for Waterfox.exe, Palemoon.exe and Basilisk.exe Firefox forks as well as Brave.exe
  • added Bluetooth API support, IPC port can be opened with "OpenBluetooth=y" -- this should resolve issues with many Unity games hanging on startup for a long time
  • added enhanced RPC/IPC interface tracing
  • when DefaultBox is not found by the SandMan UI, it will be recreated
  • "Disable Forced Programs" time is now saved and reloaded

Changed

  • reduced SandMan CPU usage
  • Sandboxie.ini and Templates.ini can now be UTF8 encoded -- this feature is experimental, files without a UTF-8 Signature should be recognized also -- "ByteOrderMark=yes" is obsolete, Sandboxie.ini is now always saved with a BOM/Signature
  • legacy language files can now be UTF8 encoded
  • reworked file migration behaviour, removed hardcoded lists in favour of templates -- 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
  • removed hardcoded SkipHook list in favour of templates

[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 its desired to close them
  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: added print spooler filter to prevent printers from being set up outside the sandbox -- the filter can be disabled with "OpenPrintSpooler=y"
  • added overwrite prompt when recovering an already existing file
  • added "StartProgram=", "StartService=" and "AutoExec=" options to the SandMan UI
  • added more compatibility templates (thanks isaak654)

Changed

  • Changed Emulated SCM behaviour, boxed services are no longer by default started as boxed system -- use "RunServicesAsSystem=y" to enable the old legacy behaviour -- Note: sandboxed services with a system token are still sandboxed and restricted -- However not granting them a system token in the first place removes possible exploit vectors -- Note: this option is not compatible with "ProtectRpcSs=y" and takes precedence!

  • improved Resource Monitor status strings

Fixed

  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: processes could spawn processes outside the sandbox (thanks Diversenok)

Changed

  • AppUserModelID sting no longer contains Sandboxie version string

[0.3 / 5.42] - 2020-07-04

Added

  • API_QUERY_PROCESS_INFO can be now used to get the original process token of sandboxed processes -- Note: this capability is used by TaskExplorer to allow inspecting sandbox internal tokens
  • added option "KeepTokenIntegrity=y" to make the Sbie token keep its initial integrity level (debug option) -- Note: Do NOT USE Debug Options if you don't know their security implications (!)
  • 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"
  • Sandboxed RpcSs and DcomLaunch can now be run as system with the option "ProtectRpcSs=y" however this breaks sandboxed explorer and other
  • 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 Sandbox Presets sub menu allowing to quickly change some settings -- Enable/Disable API logging, logapi_dll's are now distributed with SbiePlus -- And other: Drop admin rights; Block/Allow internet access; Block/Allow access to files on the network
  • added more info to the sandbox status column
  • added path column to SbieModel
  • added info tooltips in SbieView

Changed

  • reworked ApiLog, added PID and PID filter
  • auto config reload on in change is now delayed by 500ms to not reload multiple times on incremental changes

  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: fixed permission issues with sandboxed system processes -- Note: you can use "ExposeBoxedSystem=y" for the old behaviour (debug option)
  • FIXED SECURITY ISSUE: fixed missing SCM access check for sandboxed services (thanks Diversenok) -- Note: to disable the access check use "UnrestrictedSCM=y" (debug option)
  • 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 run with MSFT Driver Verifier active -- 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
  • improved debugging around process creation errors in the driver

Fixed

  • fixed some log messages going lost after driver reload

  • added DPI awareness
  • the driver file is now obfuscated to avoid false positives
  • additional debug options to Sandboxie.ini OpenToken=y that combines UnrestrictedToken=y and UnfilteredToken=y -- Note: using these options weakens the sandboxing, they are intended for debugging and may be used for better application virtualization later

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
  • service path fix broke other services, now properly fixed, maybe
  • found workaround for the MSI installer issue
