Opening a picture in the sandbox triggers UAC pop-up
Hello, whenever I open a picture from qBittorrent (installed outside of the sandbox) that has been stored on my E: drive using Direct Access I get a prompt that the program is requesting admin privileges.
Picture: https://i.sli.mg/LLmVoi.png
I have no idea why this is happening. At first I thought qBittorrent was trolling me, but the prompt appears even if I try to open the picture using a sandboxed explorer window.
Here's what the Resource Access Monitor says when I decline the privilege escalation:

Here's what it says when I accept by typing in my password:

And here's what the actual UAC prompt says:

Same thing happens in two completely separate sandboxes, so I don't know what the problem is.
My image viewer is ImageGlass, if that's of any help.

So it happens outside and inside the SB?
If so, that's not SBIE. That's something requesting UAC. And SBIE is notifying you.
All pictures do it? Or just that one?
Have you scanned that picture?

I'd be very suspicious of torrent images. If it triggers a UAC in both, and other image files do not.. It's not uncommon to have a .jpg wrapper and it be some sort of bad file.

Re: Opening a picture in the sandbox triggers UAC pop-up
I think you misunderstood. I'm running qBittorrent inside the sandbox 100% of the time, but it's installed outside. If I try to open it outside of Sandboxie, it works without any issues.
It also isn't the torrent image, it's the picture downloaded from a torrent.

If that is what is trying to open this image, then that is what is requesting elevation.BatmanCatman wrote:My image viewer is ImageGlass, if that's of any help.

I guess it has something to do with your drive, folder or inherited file permissions to where the file image was saved.BatmanCatman wrote:Hello, whenever I open a picture from qBittorrent (installed outside of the sandbox) that has been stored on my E: drive using Direct Access I get a prompt that the program is requesting admin privileges.

Yes, but why? MPC-HC also asks for elevation whenever I try to open something with that.Curt@invincea wrote:If that is what is trying to open this image, then that is what is requesting elevation.BatmanCatman wrote:My image viewer is ImageGlass, if that's of any help.
I think you might be onto something here. But I can open files just fine outside of the sandbox without elevating myself in any way, so why is it happening in my sandbox?rpljhun wrote:I guess it has something to do with your drive, folder or inherited file permissions to where the file image was saved.BatmanCatman wrote:Hello, whenever I open a picture from qBittorrent (installed outside of the sandbox) that has been stored on my E: drive using Direct Access I get a prompt that the program is requesting admin privileges.

Snadboxie doesn't elevate apps unless it is told to do so. Did you create sandbox shortcuts with the /elevate parameter? Or set "Run this program as administrator" in the shortcut properties?
