Known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in Sophos Endpoint Agent
Lavawall tracks 4 published CVEs affecting Sophos Endpoint Agent, and deploys the versions that fix them automatically across your fleet.
| CVE | Published | Severity | Details | Vector |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2021-25269 | 2021-11-26 15:15:07 | MEDIUM (4) | A local administrator could prevent the HMPA service from starting despite tamper protection using an unquoted service path vulnerability in the HMPA component of Sophos Intercept X Advanced and Sophos Intercept X Advanced for Server before version 2.0.23, as well as Sophos Exploit Prevention before version 3.8.3. | LOCAL |
| CVE-2020-9363 | 2020-02-24 16:15:13 | HIGH (8) | The Sophos AV parsing engine before 2020-01-14 allows virus-detection bypass via a crafted ZIP archive. This affects Endpoint Protection, Cloud Optix, Mobile, Intercept X Endpoint, Intercept X for Server, and Secure Web Gateway. NOTE: the vendor feels that this does not apply to endpoint-protection products because the virus would be detected upon extraction. | LOCAL |
| CVE-2018-9233 | 2018-04-05 17:29:00 | LOW (2) | Sophos Endpoint Protection 10.7 uses an unsalted SHA-1 hash for password storage in %PROGRAMDATA%\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\Config\machine.xml, which makes it easier for attackers to determine a cleartext password, and subsequently choose unsafe malware settings, via rainbow tables or other approaches. | LOCAL |
| CVE-2018-4863 | 2018-04-05 17:29:00 | LOW (2) | Sophos Endpoint Protection 10.7 allows local users to bypass an intended tamper protection mechanism by deleting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Sophos Endpoint Defense\ registry key. | LOCAL |
Why keeping Sophos Endpoint Agent patched matters
Unpatched third-party applications are one of the most common ways attackers get in: 57% of breached MSP clients and 32% of ransomware cases trace back to a missing patch. Every Sophos Endpoint Agent release that fixes a security bug is public, so attackers see it too, and an out-of-date install becomes a documented way in. Tracking the installed version on every machine and closing the gap quickly is what turns a disclosed CVE into a non-event.
