Description
CVE-2026-102280 is a vulnerability in Sandboxie-Plus prior to version 1.18.6 where a sandboxed process could send specific messages to the SYSTEM service (SbieSvc) to modify files outside the sandbox. This includes changing file attributes, timestamps, writeability, or 8.3 short names. Exploiting short-name redirection may lead to SYSTEM code execution when a privileged process resolves an attacker-controlled short-name path. The issue is fixed in version 1.18.6.
