This means that the process uses a restricted token, its often encountered when using electron apps, or chromium or firefox based browsers
there is also a orange arrow indicating the use of a appcontainer, it is only available when using a green sandbox

This is the source code in question, if anyone wants to check it out:

Sandboxie/SandboxiePlus/SandMan/Models/SbieModel.cpp

Lines 399 to 408 in 0c538d3

    
           if (OverlayIcons) { 
        
           	if (pProcess->HasSystemToken()) 
        
           		Icon = theGUI->IconAddOverlay(Icon, ":/Actions/SystemShield.png", 20); 
        
           	else if (pProcess->HasElevatedToken()) 
        
           		Icon = theGUI->IconAddOverlay(Icon, ":/Actions/AdminShield.png", 20); 
        
           	else if (pProcess->HasAppContainerToken()) 
        
           		Icon = theGUI->IconAddOverlay(Icon, ":/Actions/AppContainer.png", 20); // AppContainer is also Restricted 
        
           	else if (pProcess->HasRestrictedToken()) 
        
           		Icon = theGUI->IconAddOverlay(Icon, ":/Actions/Restricted.png", 20); 
        
           }

Below is the setting to disable the overlay icons (Global Settings -> Interface Config -> User Interface):

Sandboxie/SandboxiePlus/SandMan/Forms/SettingsWindow.ui

Lines 947 to 951 in 0c538d3

    
           <widget class="QCheckBox" name="chkOverlayIcons"> 
        
            <property name="text"> 
        
             <string>Show overlay icons for boxes and processes</string> 
        
            </property> 
        
           </widget>
