CVE-2026-64954
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
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.

"value": "Velociraptor permite programar nuevas colecciones a través de consultas VQL en cuadernos. Para que un usuario programe una nueva colección, requiere el permiso COLLECT_CLIENT. Sin embargo, esto no se aplica cuyo el usuario puede ejecutar una consulta VQL que restablece el proveedor de autorización.\n\nEsto permite a un usuario que puede ejecutar VQL arbitrario (normalmente con el rol de ’analista’) lanzar nuevas colecciones (normalmente requiere el rol de ’investigador’). Esta vulnerabilidad es una escalada de un rol de analista a investigador."
