CVE-2026-18652: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in Rapid7 Velociraptor
CVE-2026-18652 is a medium severity vulnerability in Rapid7 Velociraptor versions prior to 0.77.2. It involves missing authorization checks in the GUI that allow a user with read access to the root organization to read stacked result sets from child organizations. This occurs because the requested path is not properly validated against a prefix deny list, enabling unauthorized data access across organizational boundaries.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Rapid7 Velociraptor's multi-tenant design stores sub-organizations within a datastore directory. The GUI allows reading stacked result sets, but the path requested by the GUI is not correctly checked against the prefix deny list. This missing authorization (CWE-862) enables a user with read access to the root organization to access result sets from child organizations, violating intended access controls. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 0.77.2. No official remediation or patch is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker or user with read access to the root organization can access sensitive result sets belonging to child organizations. This unauthorized data exposure compromises confidentiality but does not impact integrity or availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.9 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impact limited to confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict read access to the root organization to trusted users only to minimize risk. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
