Microsoft Patches Critical Security Vulnerabilities In Windows, Office, IE, Exchange & SQL Server

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post-exploitation credential-harvesting tool that extracts saved passwords, session cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card data, autofill entries, and browsing history from major Chromium- and Gecko-based browsers. It bypasses Chrome's App-Bound Encryption (Chrome 127+) by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL via Early Bird APC to call the IElevator COM interface, returns decrypted keys via a named pipe, and parses on-disk SQLite/JSON stores; Opera-family browsers are handled via DPAPI extraction and Firefox via NSS decryption. The tool includes operational evasion features (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parser), outputs structured JSON, and is intended for red-team/assumed-breach use; the report covers attack scenarios, detection opportunities, and mitigation advice.
