Sandboxie 1.15.8 / 5.70.8

Release Notes

 
Sandboxie-Plus v1.15.8 / Classic v5.70.8 introduces several improvements and fixes to enhance usability and stability. The sandbox deletion confirmation prompt has been refined for better clarity. The online updater has been updated to ensure smoother updates, and the Plus installer now includes the ImDisk 3.0 driver for 64-bit systems, expanding its functionality.
This release also addresses key issues reported by users. A problem where the "WriteFilePath" setting was not functioning correctly has been resolved, ensuring expected behavior when writing files. Additionally, an issue with Box Notes that caused matching lines to be deleted upon saving has been fixed, restoring proper note-taking functionality.

Sandboxie Plus 1.15.9 delivers a robust update centered on security, stability, and compatibility—particularly for users of modern web browsers and those prioritizing privacy and sandbox integrity.

A key highlight is the improved compatibility with Firefox 137 Nightly and later, resolving previous hooking issues that caused instability or functional limitations. Firefox now runs smoothly within sandboxed environments once again.

Security enhancements are another major focus. This release addresses a potential IP leakage vulnerability affecting dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 setups when only one proxy type was configured. Connections now fail gracefully if no proxy is set for the relevant IP type, effectively preventing unintentional bypasses and preserving user anonymity—a critical improvement for users relying on VPNs or proxies.

Additionally, a serious local privilege escalation vulnerability tied to the HostInjectDll mechanism has been patched, thanks to responsible disclosure. This fix strengthens Sandboxie's role as a secure execution layer.

For advanced users, a new debug option OpenAllSysCalls=y has been added, allowing unrestricted system call access for testing purposes. However, due to its permissive nature, it should be used with caution.

Among the usability improvements, users can now duplicate sandboxes and their contents directly from the UI, streamlining environment management. The update also introduces a new developer certificate type that disables user-mode component verification for advanced use cases. This node-locked certificate is available at no additional cost to existing Contributor or Eternal/Huge certificate holders upon request.

Overall, version 1.15.9 brings a thoughtful balance of new features, critical fixes, and user-focused enhancements, reinforcing Sandboxie Plus as a powerful tool for secure application isolation.

If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.

Sandboxie Plus version 1.15.12 / 5.70.12 introduces a range of enhancements, fixes, and usability improvements. This release adds Indonesian language support to the Plus UI, a new template for the WeType Input Method Editor (IME), and support for proxy configuration using host names instead of raw IPs by resolving them at WSA_Startup. Sandboxie can now bind to network adapters rather than specific IP addresses, providing more flexibility in networking setups. Additionally, support for the %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable has been introduced, along with a new TemplateDefaultFolders entry to define standard paths in privacy-enhanced boxes.

Several changes improve usability and performance. The "Move Sandbox" list sorting behavior has been refined, and personal details like name and hardware ID in the Support tab are now hidden by default. An experimental alternative proxy relay implementation has also been added, shifting from socket modification to relay threads.

Numerous issues have been addressed. These include the BoxAlias not appearing in the "run in box" dialog, UI inconsistencies after using Ctrl+F, and persistent high I/O usage by SbieCtrl.exe and SandMan.exe. Registry access functions were hardened with additional checks, and problems with Tencent TIM, MSI installer behavior, and oversized Sandboxie.ini files have been resolved. Other fixes address UI glitches, translation inconsistencies, drag-and-drop issues, and crashes related to SbieDll.dll. Compatibility problems with PingInfoView and a loop condition in CollectProducts() have also been fixed.
