CVE-2026-6290: CWE-863 in Rapid7 Velociraptor
CVE-2026-6290 is a vulnerability in Rapid7 Velociraptor versions prior to 0. 76. 3 affecting the query() plugin. It allows an authenticated GUI user with access to one organization to run VQL queries on other organizations using the same ACL token, effectively bypassing intended access controls. The user's permissions in the other organizations mirror those in the original organization where the notebook is located. This vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in Rapid7 Velociraptor's query() plugin permits an authenticated user with access to a single organization to execute VQL queries against other organizations by leveraging the user's current ACL token. This results in cross-organization data access with the same permission level as in the user's original organization. The issue is classified under CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization). It affects versions prior to 0.76.3. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no official remediation or patch has been published yet.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with legitimate access to one organization can access data and perform queries on other organizations they should not have access to, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure and modification across organizational boundaries. The impact includes confidentiality, integrity, and availability as indicated by the CVSS vector. This undermines the multi-tenancy security model of Velociraptor deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the Velociraptor GUI to trusted users only and consider limiting notebook usage or query() plugin access. Monitor for any updates from Rapid7 regarding patches or official mitigations.
