Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Velociraptor's SetClientMetadata used the wrong permission check to enforce setting metadata on the server. This allows a user with LABEL_CLIENTS permission to update the server metadata.
Server metadata is often used to store site wide configuration data that should only be updated by the server admin.
AnalysisAI
Incorrect authorization in Rapid7 Velociraptor allows an authenticated user with the LABEL_CLIENTS permission to alter server-wide metadata via the SetClientMetadata operation, which should be restricted to server administrators.
