Description
An information leakage vulnerability exists in the Endpoint DLP component (epdlpdrv.sys) of Netskope Client for Windows prior to version R141. 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, leaking residual kernel pool memory from prior allocations. A local unprivileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability to enumerate DLP configuration and feature flags, extract live session tokens, and read kernel memory fragments from other users' operations.

Impact

A kernel-driver information leakage flaw exists in the Netskope Endpoint DLP component when the driver (epdlpdrv.sys) fails to validate messages sent from a user-space hook DLL and returns a reply buffer that is not fully initialized. This defect allows a local unprivileged process to send unauthorized queries and to read residual data from preceding kernel pool allocations. An attacker can consequently enumerate DLP configuration and feature flags, extract live session tokens, and read fragments of kernel memory that belong to other users' operations. The weakness is classified as CWE‑908, indicating improper handling of sensitive data within the system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Netskope Client for Windows – Endpoint DLP in all released versions prior to R141. The patch package is available by upgrading to version R141 or later. Netskope also recommends applying backported maintenance patch builds R132.0.4.7307, R135.0.2.7298, or R138.0.0.7305 or newer if an upgrade is not possible at the time of installation.

Risk and Exploitability

This flaw carries a CVSS base score of 6.8, representing medium severity, and has no EPSS score available. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The vulnerability can be exploited only from a local machine by an unprivileged user who can run the Netskope client or load the DLL; there is no known network-basis or remote exploitation vector. An attacker would need to launch the malicious code in the same user session as the Netskope client and use the exposed message pathway to trigger the kernel leak. The most likely attack scenario involves a legitimate user executing malicious code on their own workstation, thereby allowing the attacker to read sensitive configuration and tokens without privilege escalation.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade Netskope Client for Windows to version R141 or later. Alternatively, apply backported maintenance patch builds R132.0.4.7307, R135.0.2.7298, or R138.0.0.7305 or above


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Netskope Client for Windows version R141 or later, which replaces the vulnerable epdlpdrv.sys driver.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, apply one of the backported maintenance patch builds R132.0.4.7307, R135.0.2.7298, or R138.0.0.7305 that contain the fix.
  • After installing the patch or upgrade, reboot the system or restart the Netskope service to load the updated driver and clear any residual kernel memory.
