I have a data protection / security question about stealing clipboard data from the Memory (RAM) of the ClipCascade App.
Microsoft's clipboard has many critical issues, one of which is this:
It is very easy to read the process ID of the clipboard process TextInputHost.exe
Then, you can read the memory (RAM) of this process
This allows you to immediately see all stored data in the Windows clipboard history in plain text.
Hence the question: 😊
Does the ClipCascade desktop app protect itself against other processes reading its memory (RAM)? (For example, antivirus programs protect themselves against others reading their app memory).
An alternative way to prevent other processes from stealing clipboard data from the Memory (RAM) of the ClipCascade App
This would maybe a simpler solution:
When the ClipCascade app receives data,
it encrypts this data and stores it in the RAM,
and then, it deletes the variable from RAM that had stored the plain text.
