CVE-2026-15710: Netskope Client Endpoint DLP Kernel Driver Information Leakage
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is exposed to exploitation?
Systems running Netskope Client for Windows with the Endpoint DLP component and epdlpdrv.sys prior to version R141 are exposed. Exploitation requires local access by an unprivileged process; no remote attack path is described.
What can a local attacker obtain through this issue?
An attacker can send unauthorized queries through the driver communication channel to enumerate DLP configuration and feature flags, extract live session tokens, and obtain residual kernel pool-memory fragments associated with other users' operations.
What should be prioritized for remediation?
Upgrade Netskope Client for Windows to version R141 or later. The available information does not describe a configuration workaround or mitigation for systems that cannot yet be updated.
