Analyst is a low-privilege authenticated role (not admin), so PR:L is more accurate; S:C and C:L reflect the server-side outbound network oracle reaching beyond the vulnerable component.

DescriptionCVE.org

Missing authorization check in the upload_azure, upload_sftp, and upload_smb VQL plugins allows an authenticated analyst-role user can initiate attacker-controlled outbound network connections from the Velociraptor server, bypassing the NETWORK ACL permission boundary. This enables internal network reconnaissance via port oracle and potential data exfiltration to external endpoints.

AnalysisAI

Missing NETWORK ACL enforcement across Velociraptor's upload_azure, upload_sftp, upload_smb, upload_gcs, and related VQL plugins allows an authenticated analyst-role user to force the server to initiate outbound TCP connections to arbitrary attacker-controlled endpoints. This bypasses the intended NETWORK ACL permission boundary - a role separation control designed to prevent analysts from triggering server-side network activity - enabling port-oracle-based reconnaissance of the server's internal network segments and potential data exfiltration to external destinations. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain analyst-role Velociraptor credentials
Delivery
Craft VQL query invoking upload_sftp or upload_azure with attacker-controlled endpoint
Exploit
Submit query via Velociraptor UI or API
Execution
Server initiates outbound TCP to arbitrary IP:port without NETWORK ACL check
Persist
Observe connection timing and success as port oracle
Impact
Map internal network topology from server's privileged vantage point

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Velociraptor account with at minimum analyst-role privileges - the CVSS vector PR:H confirms that elevated authentication is required, and unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.1 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N reflects a medium-low severity, though the scope change (S:C) is a meaningful signal that impact extends beyond the Velociraptor process itself to the broader network environment accessible from the server. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An analyst-role Velociraptor user crafts a VQL query invoking upload_sftp or upload_azure with a target host and port under the attacker's control, causing the Velociraptor server to initiate outbound TCP connections to arbitrary internal or external IP:port combinations. By iterating over internal RFC-1918 addresses and observing connection success or timeout responses, the attacker maps reachable hosts and open ports from the server's privileged network vantage point - a segment potentially inaccessible from the analyst's own workstation. …
Remediation The upstream fix is available in commit 48824fb51a2bdba832abc281e719ecbed74736df on the Velocidex/velociraptor GitHub repository; however, a specific tagged release version containing this fix has not been independently confirmed from available data - operators should consult the vendor advisory at http://docs.velociraptor.app/announcements/advisories/cve-2026-18348/ to identify the patched release version and upgrade to it. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
