Security: Passwords hive vulnerability

Reported by ian.step...@gmail.com, Jun 13 2017

Issue description

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Easily getting access to users passwords/cookies. Also its even too easy using GPO in enterprise networks.

VERSION
Chrome Version: 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)
Operating System: Windows 7, 8, 10, 2012, 2016

REPRODUCTION CASE
In enterprise networks VIA GPO + GPO Admin access : Adding attacking app in users autorun in registry. This way app will run under users credentials, so protection becomes inefficient and simple System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData .NET class can decode password fields.

GPO + ARP SPOFFING : same way but using spoof attack will gave same result, now without any access rights in domain ( this much depends on domain network security level and its architecture, but in most cases its easy enough ).

Actually ANY application running under users credentials can get all stored passwords, cookies and anything encoded this way. Building custom app will prevent attacker from being detected by any antivirus software. 

Sample code in c# included.

Yes, if a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, or you otherwise allow anyone to run programs using your credentials, passwords cannot be protected against such an attacker.
