DumpBrowserSecrets is a publicly available post-exploitation tool that harvests browser-stored credentials and session data from major Windows browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera variants, Vivaldi, and Firefox). It implements an App-Bound Encryption bypass for Chromium-based browsers by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL via Early Bird APC to call the IElevator COM interface and decrypt the app_bound_encrypted_key, uses DPAPI/NSS handling for other browsers, and outputs structured JSON; the report covers usage, evasion techniques, detection opportunities, and mitigation recommendations.
