Sandboxie-Plus 1.15.0 Released
🕑 Added 2024-10-19 10:21:58 +0000 UTCThis build of Sandboxie Plus version 1.15.0 introduces several impactful enhancements, focusing on user-specific operations and security improvements. A notable addition is the new user proxy mechanism, which enables user-specific operations, as well as support for Encrypting File System (EFS) through the user proxy. By adding the configuration 'EnableEFS=y' to the sandbox, users can now leverage EFS within the sandbox environment. Furthermore, a breakout document feature has been implemented, allowing users to specify certain file paths and extensions that can escape the sandbox. However, users are warned to avoid paths terminated with wildcards as they may open up security vulnerabilities, enabling the execution of malicious scripts outside of the sandbox.
In terms of security, a new mechanism has been added to restrict access to box folders, allowing only the user who created the folder to access it by setting 'LockBoxToUser=y'. Additionally, users now have the option to retain the original Access Control Lists (ACLs) on sandboxed files or modify them, providing more flexibility in access management, this may introduce compatibility issues though. Another new feature is the 'OpenWPADEndpoint=y' option, which allows to open system proxy configuration access. On the technical side, improvements have been made to the startup processes for SandboxieCrypto and Sandboxed RPCSS, as well as refinements to the user interface controls.
These updates mark a significant step forward in both the security and functionality of Sandboxie Plus.
