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, which can degrade or disable Elastic Defend's real-time malware prevention and behavioral detection capabilities on the affected host for as long as the condition persists.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":34,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":34.1,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
