AI Analysis

Impact

Kernel driver ProcessMonitorDriver.sys in Safetica Endpoint Client x64 versions 10.5.75.0 and 11.11.4.0 contains an improperly validated IOCTL handler that allows an unprivileged local user to send a crafted request. The flaw is an instance of CWE‑269.

Affected Systems

Safetica Endpoint Client, x64, versions 10.5.75.0 and 11.11.4.0. The vulnerability exists in the kernel driver ProcessMonitorDriver.sys. No other affected products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector requires local, unprivileged access, so exploitation depends on the attacker having physical or remote local control of the machine. With the documented ability to kill critical processes, even a low‑entropy attack could cause significant disruption. of 7.5 indicates medium‑high severity, and the potential impact and requirement for privileged operation suggest a significant risk. The lack of a publicly available exploit does not reduce the importance of mitigating the flaw promptly.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Safetica Endpoint Client release that addresses the IOCTL validation bug.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable or remove the ProcessMonitorDriver.sys driver and any associated services to prevent the abuse vector.
  • On affected systems, enable process monitoring and alerts for unexpected termination of critical system processes to detect and respond to abuse attempts.
