Netskope Security Advisory – Netskope Client Endpoint DLP Security Notice
Netskope was notified of an information leakage vulnerability in the Endpoint DLP component (epdlpdrv.sys) of the Netskope Client. An internal communication channel used by the user-space hook DLL to pass messages through the kernel driver to the daemon lacked proper token-based message validation, allowing local unprivileged processes to send unauthorized queries. Additionally, a reply buffer used by the port message handler was not properly initialized before returning data (CWE-908), causing residual kernel pool memory from prior allocations to be leaked to the caller. Successful exploitation could allow a local unprivileged attacker to enumerate DLP configuration and feature flags, extract live session tokens, and read kernel memory fragments from other users’ operations.
