whatsapp app

I am reviewing and I notice that when I use the WhatsApp app and attach an image it is not sent, I do not have associated blocking policies and additionally create a real-time policy where permission is granted to upload and download files.

If I enter through a browser, if it allows me to attach all the images, I wanted to check whether netskope restricts the sending of attachments through the App?

@xavy2310 I was able to reproduce it. Apparently fat client for Windows got certificate pinned recently. You should add certificate pinning exception for Windows for process named whatsapp.exe - I have verified and it worked for me.

We have face the similar issue and found this was due to the CASB restrictions only.

Greetings, you were able to replicate. I put the exclusion as you tell me but when I attach an image it is not sent.

Hello, I can see cert pinned app is created, is it also added to Steering Exceptions? 

 

Net result, you should see something along those lines in nsdebug log file:

The problem arises when Netskope decrypts the domain "mmg.whatsApp.net". To resolve this problem, you can include this domain in the SSL decryption exclusion rule.
