CVE-2026-19200: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in Rapid7 Velociraptor
CVE-2026-19200 is a high-severity vulnerability in Rapid7 Velociraptor versions prior to 0.77.2. It involves a missing authorization check in the verify() VQL function, which allows users with NOTEBOOK_EDIT permission to overwrite existing artifacts in the global artifact repository without proper permissions. This flaw can lead to significant confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability exists in the Velociraptor verify() VQL function, which is intended to verify artifacts for syntactic and other issues. Due to an implementation fault, this function uses the global artifact repository and permits callers with the NOTEBOOK_EDIT permission (such as an analyst role) to overwrite existing artifacts without the required authorization. This missing authorization (CWE-862) combined with potential code injection risks (CWE-94) can result in high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
Potential Impact
An attacker with NOTEBOOK_EDIT permission can overwrite global artifacts, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or manipulation of system behavior. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.9 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with low attack complexity and requiring low privileges but user interaction. This could allow an attacker to compromise the system's integrity and confidentiality significantly.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary mitigation has been documented as of the published date. Until a patch is available, restrict NOTEBOOK_EDIT permissions to trusted users only to minimize risk.
