CVE-2026-64954: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in Rapid7 Velociraptor

VulnerabilityCVE-2026-64954cvecve-2026-64954cwe-862
Published: 08/12/2026 (08/12/2026, 04:26:32 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Rapid7
Product: Velociraptor

Description

Velociraptor allows scheduling new collections via VQL queries in notebooks. For a user to schedule a new collection, they require the COLLECT_CLIENT permission. However, this is not enforced when the user can run a VQL query which resets the authorization provider. This allows a user who can run arbitrary VQL (usually with the "analyst" role) to launch new collections (usually requires the "investigator" role). This vulnerability is an escalation from an analyst to investigator role.
