CVE-2026-34527 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3) affecting sandboxie. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Sandboxie-Plus is an open source sandbox-based isolation software for Windows. In versions 1.17.2 and earlier, SbieIniServer::HashPassword converts a SHA-1 digest to hexadecimal incorrectly. The high nibble of each byte is shifted right by 8 instead of 4, which always produces zero for an 8-bit value. As a result, the stored EditPassword hash only preserves the low nibble of each digest byte, reducing the effective entropy from 160 bits to 80 bit

Why this priority

Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.
