Summary
Netskope has identified a potential gap in its agent (Netskope Client) in which a malicious insider can potentially tamper the Netskope Client configuration by performing MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) activity on the Netskope Client communication channel. A successful exploitation would require administrative privileges on the machine, and could result in temporarily altering the configuration of Netskope Client or permanently disabling or removing the agent from the machine.
