Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

osquery osquery是osquery社区的一个基于 SQL 的操作系统检测、监控和分析软件。 osquery 5.23.1之前版本存在缓冲区错误漏洞，该漏洞源于getOriginalProgramName函数中解析发布者信息时处理不当，可能导致本地低权限用户通过查询针对恶意制作的二进制文件的authenticode表引发堆缓冲区越界写入。如果成功利用，可能导致标准用户权限提升至SYSTEM。

Vulnerability Title
osquery: Heap buffer overflow via `authenticode` table (Windows)
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
osquery is a SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics framework. Prior to 5.23.1, on Windows, a local unprivileged attacker can cause a heap buffer out-of-bounds write if there is a query of the authenticode table targeting a maliciously crafted binary, due to publisher information parsing in getOriginalProgramName. If exploited successfully, this could allow a potential local privilege escalation from standard user to SYSTEM. This issue is fixed in version 5.23.1.
