Netskope is notified about a potential gap in its agent (NSClient) where a system with Netskope Client while connecting to an access point with Captive Portal switches to a Network which already has internet connectivity, the Captive Portal does not close. This allows the possibility of abuse via the Captive Portal using a rogue access point to either access malicious sites or exfiltrate data.The issue impacts all versions prior to R142
