In versions 1.16.1 and below, a critical security vulnerability exists in password handling mechanisms. During encrypted sandbox creation, user passwords are transmitted via shared memory, exposing them to potential interception. The vulnerability is particularly severe during password modification operations, where both old and new passwords are passed as plaintext command-line arguments to the Imbox process without any encryption or obfuscation. This implementation flaw allows any process within the user session, including unprivileged processes, to retrieve these sensitive credentials by reading the command-line arguments, thereby bypassing standard privilege requirements and creating a significant security risk. This is fixed in version 1.16.2.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-top: 0; \">References<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sandboxie-plus\/Sandboxie\/security\/advisories\/GHSA-jp7r-vgv9-43p7\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/sandboxie-plus\/Sandboxie\/security\/advisories\/GHSA-jp7r-vgv9-43p7<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sandboxie-plus\/Sandboxie\/commit\/d107d5743880da28e782c1771b5246b2a512989a\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/sandboxie-plus\/Sandboxie\/commit\/d107d5743880da28e782c1771b5246b2a512989a<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sandboxie-plus\/Sandboxie\/releases\/tag\/v1.16.2\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/sandboxie-plus\/Sandboxie\/releases\/tag\/v1.16.2<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;\">\n<a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; padding: 12px 24px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 4px; font-weight: bold; transition: background-color 0.3s;\">View Full CVE Details<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE Details Basic Information Title Sandboxie exposes encrypted sandbox key during password change Type cve Published 2025-07-29T12:47:50.414Z Modified 2025-07-29T13:29:56.118Z Product Information Vendor sandboxie-plus Product Sandboxie&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6,8,48,12,21,13,7,11,5],"class_list":["post-9224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-category_cve","tag-cve","tag-cvss","tag-cvss-69","tag-exploit","tag-medium","tag-news","tag-security","tag-tapic","tag-vulnerability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
