{"id":"CVE-2020-11081","details":"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.","aliases":["GHSA-2xwp-8fv7-c5pm"],"modified":"2026-07-09T02:49:37.274402Z","published":"2020-07-10T19:15:11.553Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/osquery/osquery/releases/tag/4.4.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/osquery/osquery/security/advisories/GHSA-2xwp-8fv7-c5pm"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/osquery/osquery/issues/6426"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/osquery/osquery/commit/4d4957f12a6aa0becc9d01d9f97061e1e3d809c5"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/osquery/osquery/pull/6433"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/osquery/osquery","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4734cd44f4749db4f00d9f9ec3093e3bf191f69c"},{"fixed":"4d4957f12a6aa0becc9d01d9f97061e1e3d809c5"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:linuxfoundation:osquery:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.4.0"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["4.3.0","4.2.0","4.1.2","4.1.1","4.1.0","4.0.2","4.0.1","4.0.0","3.3.2","3.3.1","3.3.0","3.2.9","3.2.8","3.2.7","3.2.6","3.2.5","3.2.4","3.2.3","3.2.2","3.2.1","3.2.0","3.1.0","3.0.0","2.11.2","2.11.1","2.11.0","2.10.4","2.10.3","2.10.2","2.10.1","2.10.0","2.9.2","2.9.1","2.9.0","2.8.1","2.8.0","2.7.0","2.6.1","2.6.0","2.5.3","2.5.2","2.5.1","2.5.0","2.4.7","2.4.6","2.4.5","2.4.4","2.4.3","2.4.2","2.4.1","2.4.0","2.3.4","2.3.3","2.3.2","2.3.1","2.3.0","2.2.3","2.2.2","2.2.1","2.2.0","2.1.2","2.1.1","2.1.0","2.0.0","1.8.2","1.8.1","1.8.0","1.7.7","1.7.6","1.7.5","1.7.4","1.7.3","1.7.2","1.7.1","1.7.0","1.6.4","1.6.3","1.6.2","1.6.1","1.6.0","1.5.3","1.5.2","1.5.1","1.5.0","1.4.7","1.4.6","1.4.5","1.4.4","1.4.3","1.4.2","1.4.1","1.4.0","1.3.1","1.3.0","1.2.2","1.2.1","1.2.0","1.1.0","1.0.5","1.0.4","1.0.3","1.0.2","v0.0.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2020-11081.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
