In osquery before version 4.6.0, by using sqlite's ATTACH verb, someone with administrative access to osquery can cause reads and writes to arbitrary sqlite databases on disk. This _does_ allow arbitrary files to be created, but they will be sqlite databases. It does not appear to allow existing non-sqlite files to be overwritten. This has been patched in osquery 4.6.0. There are several mitigating factors and possible workarounds. In some deployments, the people with access to these interfaces may be considered administrators. In some deployments, configuration is managed by a central tool. This tool can filter for the `ATTACH` keyword. osquery can be run as non-root user. Because this also limits the desired access levels, this requires deployment specific testing and configuration.Show less
CVE-2020-11081 1Linuxfoundation 1Osquery Jun 17, 2026 Jul 10, 2020 N/A· v4 8.2 HIGH· v3 4.4 MEDIUM· v2 osquery before version 4.4.0 enables a privilege escalation vulnerability.

If a Window system is configured with a PATH that contains a user-writable directory then a local user may write a zlib1.dll DLL, which osquery will attempt to load. Since osquery runs with elevated privileges this enables local escalation. This is fixed in version 4.4.0.Show less
CVE-2020-1887 1Linuxfoundation 1Osquery Jun 17, 2026 Mar 13, 2020 N/A· v4 9.1 CRITICAL· v3 5.8 MEDIUM· v2 Incorrect validation of the TLS SNI hostname in osquery versions after 2.9.0 and before 4.2.0 could allow an attacker to MITM osquery traffic in the absence of a configured root chain of trust.

Under those circumstances osquery will load said malicious executable with SYSTEM permissions. The solution is to migrate installations to the 'Program Files' directory on Windows which restricts unprivileged write access. This issue affects osquery prior to v3.4.0.Show less

A maliciously crafted Universal/fat binary can evade third-party code signing checks. By not completing full inspection of the Universal/fat binary, the user of the third-party tool will believe that the code is signed by Apple, but the malicious unsigned code will execute. This issue affects osquery prior to v3.2.7Show less
