PH09007: High CPU consumption by CEFSHARPSUBPROCESS

RASS-Windows-9.0.3.12

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• 1. Expected behavior:
  AppScan CefSharpSubProcess Process should stop when Chromium is
  no longer in use.
  
  2. Observed behavior:
  AppScan uses CefSharpsubprocess when Chromium is used.
  In some cases these processes are not closed even though AppScan
  stopped using them.
  The above causes a high CPU consumption and can cause AppScan to
  crash or hang.
  
  3. Workarounds:
  Use Internet explorer for Login and Explore instead of Chromium
