This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Sandboxie is an open source sandbox-based isolation software for Windows. In versions 1.17.2 and earlier, a local denial of service vulnerability exists in the Sandboxie kernel driver. An unprivileged process running inside a Standard Sandbox can send a malformed IOCTL to the \Device\SandboxieDriverApi driver, triggering an immediate kernel crash (BSOD). The vulnerability affects the Standard Sandbox configuration both with and without dropped administrator privileges, but does not affect the Security Hardened Sandbox configuration. This issue has been fixed in version 1.17.3. Users who cannot update can use the Security Hardened Sandbox configuration as a workaround.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
