AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-7573) involves an authorization bypass (CWE-639) in the GetUserRoles gRPC API endpoint of Velocidex Velociraptor prior to version 0.76.5. By supplying crafted Name and Org parameters, an authenticated user with low privileges can access the full ACL policy for any user across all organizations, exposing roles and permissions that should be restricted. The issue is network accessible and requires low attack complexity with no user interaction. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with valid low-privilege authentication can retrieve sensitive authorization data, including roles and permissions of any user in any organization managed by Velocidex Velociraptor. This exposure could facilitate further privilege escalation or unauthorized access by revealing detailed access control configurations. There is no direct impact on data integrity or availability reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the GetUserRoles API endpoint to trusted users only and monitor for unusual access patterns. Avoid granting unnecessary authentication credentials to low-privilege users. Follow updates from Velocidex for any forthcoming patches or official mitigations.
