Sophos Network Threat Detection is blocking Cypress automation tool

We run Cypress as our web automation tool and as of the past week or two Cypress has been crashing with the error message: Error: read ECONNRESET at TCP.onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:211:20)

As I'm not in control of the Sophos Endpoint Agent I was able to get the IT team to give me the tamper password to test disabling the 'Network Threat Protection' once this was done Cypress was able to run the automated tests properly.

(Stack Overflow thread with others reporting issue)

Has something changed recently and is there someway that Sophos can fix this so I don't have to disable the network threat protection? If you need any info or help with this let me know.

Thanks

Adrian

  • BUMP!

    Our Developers (who already hate Sophos), are experiencing this issue too. There's more information on the Cypress GitHub: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/14175

    I will raise a case with Sophos, as it's clear it's not getting any traction here, and I can't afford to give our developers more ammo against Sophos; which according to them "slows down everyting!".

    We all know that all AV slows down a machine, and I know that Sophos are working in the background to improve scanning etc, but any help from Sophos would be appreciated here.

    Once I get the ticket number I will post it here for others to reference for a "me too"...

    Thanks, 

    John

  • This issue is actively being looked into by our development teams. A fix has not yet been found, but I will update you here if I see anything promising in the coming days. 

    There will be an update which begins the release cycle on May 19th (completed on July 5th) that will affect network traffic interception and inspection, which is geared towards addressing some of the issues customers have been experiencing lately. That update will hopefully include some changes to address this issue as well.

  • Could you please explain your release cycle? Do you mean that we will not see a fix for this until July 5th? We were told by your support person he would be trying to push for a hot fix? Please update. Having my IT admin have to log into my computer every 4 hours isn't exactly a solution I want to have to endure for the next month and a half.
