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

Suricata 是一种网络入侵检测系统（IDS）、入侵预防系统（IPS）以及网络安全监控引擎。在 7.0.17 和 8.0.6 之前， 中的 Windows 服务安装与参数更新逻辑，可能将未加引号的服务 ImagePath 传递给 。当 Suricata 安装在包含空格的路径下，且路径中靠前的组件对本地低权限攻击者具有写权限时，Windows 可能会以 LocalSystem 身份执行由攻击者控制的程序，从而导致本地权限提升（提权）漏洞。该问题已在 8.0.6 和 7.0.17 版本中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Suricata windows: unquoted LocalSystem service ImagePath can allow local privilege escalation
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, the Windows service installation and parameter-update logic in src/win32-service.c can pass an unquoted service ImagePath to CreateServiceA. When Suricata is installed below a path containing spaces and an earlier path component is writable by a local low-privileged attacker, Windows can execute an attacker-controlled program as LocalSystem, resulting in local privilege escalation. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.
