CVE-2024-49360

Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. An authenticated user (**UserA**) with no privileges is authorized to read all files created in sandbox belonging to other users in the sandbox folders `C:\Sandbox\UserB\xxx`. An authenticated attacker who can use `explorer.exe` or `cmd.exe` outside any sandbox can read other users' files in `C:\Sandbox\xxx`. By default in Windows 7+, the `C:\Users\UserA` folder is not readable by **UserB**. All files edited or created during the sandbox processing are affected by the vulnerability. All files in C:\Users are safe. If `UserB` runs a cmd in a sandbox, he will be able to access `C:\Sandox\UserA`. In addition, if **UserB** create a folder `C:\Sandbox\UserA` with malicious ACLs, when **UserA** will user the sandbox, Sandboxie doesn't reset ACLs ! This issue has not yet been fixed. Users are advised to limit access to their systems using Sandboxie.

Summary
  • (es) Sandboxie es un software de aislamiento basado en sandbox para sistemas operativos Windows NT de 32 y 64 bits. Un usuario autenticado (**UserA**) sin privilegios está autorizado a leer todos los archivos creados en sandbox que pertenecen a otros usuarios en las carpetas sandbox `C:\Sandbox\UserB\xxx`. Un atacante autenticado que puede utilizar `explorer.exe` o `cmd.exe` fuera de cualquier sandbox puede leer los archivos de otros usuarios en `C:\Sandbox\xxx`. De forma predeterminada en Windows 7+, la carpeta `C:\Users\UserA` no es legible por **UserB**. Todos los archivos editados o creados durante el procesamiento de sandbox se ven afectados por la vulnerabilidad. Todos los archivos en C:\Users están seguros. Si `UserB` ejecuta un comando en un sandbox, podrá acceder a `C:\Sandox\UserA`. Además, si **UserB** crea una carpeta `C:\Sandbox\UserA` con ACL maliciosas, cuando **UserA** use el sandbox, Sandboxie no restablece las ACL. Este problema aún no se ha solucionado. Se recomienda a los usuarios que limiten el acceso a sus Sandbox mediante Sandboxie."
