Linux Foundation The Linux Foundation osquery

In some configurations an attacker can inject a new executable path into the extensions.load file for osquery and hard link a parent folder of a malicious binary to a folder with known 'safe' permissions. 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.

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.

osquery susceptible to DLL search order hijacking of zlib1.dll

An issue was discovered in osquery. 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 v3.2.7
