DumpBrowserSecrets is a post-exploitation credential-stealing tool that extracts saved passwords, cookies, OAuth tokens, credit card data, and browsing artifacts from Chromium-based and Firefox browsers by using DLL injection and an IElevator COM-based App-Bound Encryption bypass (for Chrome/Edge/Brave) or DPAPI/NSS decryption (for other browsers). The report explains architecture (executable + injected DLL), evasion features (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parser), usage, detection opportunities, and red-team/attacker impact for cloud account takeover and lateral movement.
