Limitations of the current version of the program

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform 3.7.2 has the following known limitations:

  1. Packages of the 3.7.2 update can only be installed using the administrator menu or in Technical Support Mode. When connecting to a server with the Central Node component over SSH, you must make sure UTF-8 is used as the local encoding. If a different encoding is used as the local encoding, the update package will fail to install.

Limitations that apply when integrating with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.9 for Linux:

  1. Hosts with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux program cannot use the following functions:
    • Network isolation of a host.
    • Creating a prevention rule.

      No notifications are created about the unsuccessful application of a prevention rule on hosts with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux program.

    • Finding indicators of compromise on hosts using IOC files.

      No notifications are created about the unsuccessful search of indicators of compromise on hosts with the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux program.

  2. Searching the event database using the OSVersion criterion displays only hosts with the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux program. Hosts with the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows program are not displayed in search results.
  3. The OS name field in the event information is only filled in for events that are logged in the event database by Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux. Event information logged in the event database by Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows does not have this field filled in.
  4. The list of events that Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux logs in the event database is limited to the following types:
  5. The list of tasks that you can create on hosts with the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux program is limited to the following types:
    • Get file.
    • Run program.

      When you create the task, the program does not attempt to verify the path to the executable file or the file that you want to receive.

  6. In information about events registered in the event database by Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux, the Time created field displays file modification time.

Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.10 for Windows has the following known limitations:

  1. The component that prohibits opening of documents does not prevent a document that meets the applicable rule criteria from opening, if the document is opened using OLE Automation.
  2. Before sending telemetry events to the KATA Central Node component, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent saves data to the event queue. If the event queue exceeds 10,000 unprocessed events, some events will be deleted and will not be sent to the KATA Central Node component.
  3. If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is running on devices with the Windows 7 operation system, the application excludes data about network connections related to processes with PID=4 and PID=0 from telemetry.
  4. If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is used on the same device with Kaspersky Endpoint Security, and the file system level encryption (FLE) component is installed in Kaspersky Endpoint Security, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent does not register telemetry events about loading modules (LoadImage) and does not send these events to KATA Central Node component.
  5. If more than one application is specified as the value of the Application criterion when configuring the settings of network isolation exclusions, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent allows connection only for the first application in the list. Network connections for other applications specified in the list will be ignored. This limitation is reproduced when isolating devices with Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems.
  6. When scanning for indicators of compromise, if the search involves parsing text strings, the "is" condition takes into account whitespace, and the need to escape the indicator description in the IOC file with CDATA characters. For example, to detect an object with the copyright "Copyright (C) 1998-2017 Mark Russinovich " by the "is” condition, the indicator description must be specified in the following format: <Content type="string"><![CDATA[Copyright (C) 1998-2017 Mark Russinovich ]]></Content>. To simplify description of the indicators, the “contains” condition can also be used.
  7. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent can double-display data about a triggered object when displaying the results of IOC Scan task.
  8. The installer cannot stop the soyuz service until the service is initialized. For example, the installer returns the Invalid password error when trying to remove or modify the configuration of the application immediately after installation is completed, since initialization of the soyuz service is not completed and the service cannot be stopped.
  9. When scanning objects using the FileItem IOC document, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent skips objects with restricted access, for example, files that are used by other applications at the time of scanning. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent returns a false negative scan result for such objects.
  10. If localization of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent differs from localization of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent management plug-in for Kaspersky Security Center, some settings may not be displayed correctly in the outputs of the show commands in the command console.
  11. When searching for indicators in the modules loaded into the address space, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent skips cases when the system loads x64 modules into x32 processes. For example, the following cases will not be detected: loading wowcpu64.dll into system32 or loading ntdll into system32. This limitation is reproduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 x64 operating systems.
  12. When trying to launch Kaspersky Endpoint Agent installer with the permissions of a user whose account contains Chinese characters, the installer fails. It is recommended to install the application with the Local System account permissions, for example, start installation using Kaspersky Security Center.
  13. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent cannot be restored or uninstalled from the device if the integrity of the agent.exe module (Kaspersky Endpoint Agent command line utility) is violated.
  14. The capability to run and execute Kaspersky Endpoint Agent service (soyuz.exe) with the PPL flag is implemented. This feature is provided by the klelaml.sys driver. Violation of the klelaml.sys driver integrity results in the operating system loading failure. In this case, it is recommended to use Windows system recovery utilities. The absence of the klelaml.sys driver when the PPL flag is enabled for the soyuz.exe process does not lead to the operating system failure, but results in Kaspersky Endpoint Agent crash. In this case, it is recommended to run the application installer and perform recovery in the quiet mode with the REINSTALL=Drivers.klelam key.
  15. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent installer cannot be launched on a device with the operating system to which the active CodeIntegrity policy is applied.
  16. In Kaspersky Endpoint Agent properties in the Administration Console (in the General section), data about the application installation status is displayed incorrectly.
  17. Objects quarantined by Kaspersky Endpoint Agent cannot be sent from Kaspersky Security Center quarantine to Kaspersky for analysis.
  18. The check boxes corresponding to the Read and Perform operations with device selections permissions that are displayed in the group of settings for role-based access control (RBAC) in the Administration Console, in the section with permissions for managing Kaspersky Endpoint Agent plug-in, do not apply to the group of settings in Kaspersky Security Center. If you select these check boxes, the Read and Perform operations with device selections permissions will not be restricted for the specified users.
  19. When generating event selections, the filters are not applied to some of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent events published in Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  20. Cosmetic errors in the application interface have not been fixed, such as trimmed text in the control interface.
  21. The agent.exe --help command does not support output of help for one specified command. The full list of all commands supported by the utility is displayed in the console.
  22. The name of the workgroup, but not the name of the user is displayed in the User field in the properties of the object quarantined to the Administration Server repository.
  23. The agent.exe command line utility does not support operation with Cyrillic characters. For example, if a node whose address contains Cyrillic characters is specified in the list of Kaspersky Sandbox nodes in Kaspersky Endpoint Agent settings, the output of the --sandbox=show command may contain errors.
  24. The installer of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent management plug-in automatically selects the application localization based on the operating system regional settings on the device where the application or management plug-in is installed:
    • if the operating system uses the RU-RU locale, the Russian version of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent management plug-in is installed;
    • if the operating system uses any locale other than RU-RU, the English version of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent management plug-in is installed.

    Application localization affects the language of texts used to describe application modules in the system and when publishing application events to the Windows Event Log, as well as texts of Kaspersky Security Center reports. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent management plug-in localization affects the language of texts used in the application interface of Administration Console (interface of policies, group tasks, and application properties). The application localization cannot be configured manually.

    Please note that if regional settings on managed devices and on the device with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent management plug-in do not match, localization of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent interface in the Administration Console and localization of events published by the application in Kaspersky Security Center reports may not match. Also, the localization of the application interface in the Administration Console and the localization of events published by the application in Kaspersky Security Center reports may differ from the localization of Administration Console interface and the compatible EPP interface in the Administration Console.
