CVSS high 8.0

Overview

Description
Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.3 contain a vulnerability in the query() plugin which allows access to all orgs with the user's current ACL token. This allows an authenticated GUI user with access in one org, to use the query() plugin, in a notebook cell, to run VQL queries on other orgs which they may not have access to. The user's permissions in the other org are the same as the permissions they have in the org containing the notebook.

  1. Rapid7 Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.2 contain an improper input validation vulnerability in the client monitoring message handler on the Velociraptor server (primarily Linux) that allows an authenticated remote attacker to write to arbitrary internal server queues via a crafted monitoring message with a malicious queue name. The server handler that receives client monitoring messages does not sufficiently validate the queue name supplied by the client, allowing a rogue client to write arbitrary messages to privileged internal queues. This may lead to remote code execution on the Velociraptor server. Rapid7 Hosted Velociraptor instances are not affected by this vulnerability.•CVE-2026-5329
  2. Rapid7 Velociraptor versions before 0.75.6 contain a directory traversal issue on Linux servers that allows a rogue client to upload a file which is written outside the datastore directory. Velociraptor is normally only allowed to write in the datastore directory. The issue occurs due to insufficient sanitization of directory names which end with a ".", only encoding the final "." AS "%2E". Although files can be written to incorrect locations, the containing directory must end with "%2E". This limits the impact of this vulnerability, and prevents it from overwriting critical files.•CVE-2025-14728
  3. Velociraptor allows collection of VQL queries packaged into Artifacts from endpoints. These artifacts can be used to do anything and usually run with elevated permissions.  To limit access to some dangerous artifact, Velociraptor allows for those to require high permissions like EXECVE to launch. The Admin.Client.UpdateClientConfig is an artifact used to update the client's configuration. This artifact did not enforce an additional required permission, allowing users with COLLECT_CLIENT permissions (normally given by the "Investigator" role) to collect it from endpoints and update the configuration. This can lead to arbitrary command execution and endpoint takeover. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the user must already have access to collect artifacts from the endpoint (i.e. have the COLLECT_CLIENT given typically by the "Investigator' role).•CVE-2025-6264
  4. Unknown vulnerability in the DNSd proxy, as used in Symantec Gateway Security 5400 2.x and 5300 1.x, Enterprise Firewall 7.0.x and 8.x, and VelociRaptor 1100/1200/1300 1.5, allows remote attackers to poison the DNS cache and redirect users to malicious sites.•CVE-2005-0817
  5. Buffer overflow in Entrust LibKmp ISAKMP library, as used by Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7.0 through 8.0, Gateway Security 5300 1.0, Gateway Security 5400 2.0, and VelociRaptor 1.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ISAKMP payload.•CVE-2004-0369
