EDR disablement via disabled process privilege tokens
Published Mar 28, 2023 · Updated Feb 18, 2025
Improper privilege management in Cynet Client Agent 4.6.0.8010 allows local users with Administrator rights to disable EDR functions. The published record identifies disabling process privilege tokens as the operation that turns off EDR functions but names no specific process or API. Administrator rights and local access are required; the documented consequence is loss of endpoint detection and response enforcement, not data disclosure or code execution.
