{"id":"CVE-2026-19072","published":"2026-09-24T13:17:09.500","lastModified":"2026-09-25T04:17:34.920","description":"Velociraptor stores the compiled VQL in the hunt object internally to avoid having to recompile the artifacts for each endpoint in the hunt. Although the field \"compiled_collector_args\" is an internal field, Velociraptor allowed the field to be set from a user API call. This allows another user who can schedule a hunt (minimal role of \"investigator\" ) to set the compiled VQL statements for the hunt bypassing any ACL checks that would normally be applied.\n\n\n\n\nThis flaw can then be escalated to allow the \"investigator\" user to run arbitrary VQL statements as an administrator user on the Velociraptor server.","cvssScore":9.9,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-164","CWE-1269"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://docs.velociraptor.app/announcements/advisories/cve-2026-19072/","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"This flaw allows an 'investigator' user to set arbitrary VQL statements, potentially elevating their privileges to administrator level.","exploitability":"Exploitation requires an 'investigator' role and access to the API, making it moderately exploitable.","blast_radius":"If exploited, this can lead to full server compromise and arbitrary code execution with administrator privileges.","remediation":"Disable the ability to set 'compiled_collector_args' via the API or restrict this action to higher privileged users.","detection":"No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.","tags":["rce","priv-elev","api-exploit","internal-field"],"model":"qwen2.5:7b-instruct","analyzedAt":"2026-09-27T08:48:35.487Z"}}
