Summary

Uncaught Exception (CWE-248) in Elastic Endpoint can lead to denial of service via a specially crafted file name. When Elastic Defend's Elastic Endpoint component processes a file name under certain system locale configurations (including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean locales) on Windows, an unhandled exception can occur during file-path handling. This causes the Elastic Endpoint process to crash and restart repeatedly, degrading or disabling Elastic Defend's real-time malware prevention and behavioral detection capabilities on the affected host for as long as the condition persists.

Risk Assessment

On the affected host, malware prevention and behavioral detection may be degraded or disabled, increasing the risk of infection and undetected attacker activity.

Recommendation

Apply available Elastic Endpoint updates that fix this flaw. Monitor Elastic Endpoint process restarts and consider temporary compensating controls on hosts with affected locale settings.
