Cortex XDR catches the fences exe file as a non-secure application
Stardock Forums
Hi,
Recently I get popups from cytray.exe (part of Cortex XDR / Antivirus) about FencesMenu64.dll not being a valid image and then throws an error. Everything looks to work as expected afterwards but the error is annoying. According to a forum thread on Palo Alto someone got the following answer from Cortex XDR support:
Information from TAC:
"This is caused by a new feature enabled in 8.3, where we check the signature level of every DLL loaded into cytray.exe. The application's DLL must be unsigned or with a lower trusted level, which will result in the DLL being blocked by us and this pop-up to show. hence we have provided the SUEX to disable the feature.
At the moment the engineering team does not consider this issue as an actual bug inside the product, but rather a by-design behavior.
I would like to inform you that it might be fixed in the upcoming version of the XDR Agent, but we do not have an ETA for this."
Could there be any problems with the certificate signing of the dll's on Fences? It's mostly an annoyance but it could be nice without the error every time log into Windows.
