on GitHub

v0.18.0

• IElevator2 Interface Support: Added forward-compatible support for Chrome's new IElevator2 COM interface (chromium/chromium@4962049).

  • Chrome 144+ introduces IElevator2 as a replacement for the legacy IElevator interface used in App-Bound Encryption.
  • ChromElevator now attempts IElevator2 first (when available), with automatic fallback to IElevator for older Chrome versions.
  • This ensures continued operation across Chrome 143 (legacy), Chrome 144+ (transition period), and future versions (when IElevator is removed).
  • New Chrome IElevator2 IID: {1BF5208B-295F-4992-B5F4-3A9BB6494838}
  • Brave Browser support is prepared with placeholder for their upcoming IElevator2 adoption.
  • Edge remains unchanged (uses different interface chain).

• Chrome Beta Channel Support: Added Chrome Beta as a separate browser target.

  • Use --target chrome-beta or include in all scan.
  • Separate CLSID/IID configuration for Chrome Beta's elevation service.
  • IElevator2 support included for Chrome Beta 144+.

• Improved Browser Discovery: Enhanced syscall-based registry lookups with fallback paths.
