Description
Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.4 contain a cross organization authorization bypass in the HTTP API. A user with only the reader role in the root organization (the lowest authenticated role, holding only READ_RESULTS permission ) can issue a single authenticated HTTP GET that can read any files from other orgs - even if they have no explicit permissions in the target org.



However, the problem does not occur in reverse - a user with read access to a sub org is unable to read from other org or the root org.

Impact

Velociraptor servers that run on a root organization allow a user with only the reader role to issue an HTTP GET and read any files stored by other organizations, bypassing intended isolation boundaries. This is a cross‑organization authorization bypass (CWE‑863) that permits attackers to read confidential data, compromising the confidentiality of all organizations the server manages.

Affected Systems

Rapid7 Velociraptor server builds prior to 0.76.4, including all 0.75.x releases, suffer from the flaw. The vulnerability specifically targets the HTTP API handling the filestore endpoints and does not affect other components of the application.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.8, denoting moderate severity, and the flaw can be exploited remotely via a single authenticated HTTP GET request. No EPSS score is available and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no public exploitation has been reported yet. Despite this, the ability to read cross‑organization files makes it a moderate‑risk vulnerability that warrants prompt action.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

To remediate, you will need to  upgrade your server https://docs.velociraptor.app/docs/deployment/server/upgrades/#upgrading-a-server-in-place-upgrade  to the latest version of your release: * For 0.76 releases, upgrade immediately to  v0.76.4 https://github.com/Velocidex/velociraptor/releases/download/v0.76/velociraptor-v0.76.4-linux-amd64 * For 0.75 releases, upgrade immediately to  v0.75.9 https://github.com/Velocidex/velociraptor/releases/download/v0.75/velociraptor-v0.75.9-linux-amd64


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Velociraptor to v0.76.4 or later; for 0.75 releases upgrade to v0.75.9 following the in‑place upgrade instructions from Velociraptor documentation.
  • After upgrading, confirm that a reader role in the root organization can no longer access files from other organizations by performing a test HTTP GET against a file in a target organization.
  • Until the upgrade is completed, restrict or remove the root organization reader role from all users, or configure network policies to block HTTP access to the filestore endpoints for unauthenticated traffic.
