Unknown · Velociraptor · CVE-2026-78413
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Velociraptor (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
Velociraptor uses Artifacts to package VQL queries for collection from endpoints, which typically execute with elevated permissions. To restrict dangerous operations, certain artifacts require high-level permissions such as EXECVE. The `Windows.Sysinternals.SysmonLogForward` monitoring artifact, designed to forward sysmon events to the server, allows users to specify an arbitrary binary path as a parameter. Because it fails to enforce the necessary additional permissions, users with `COLLECT CLIENT` permissions (typically assigned to the Investigator role) can execute an arbitrary binary program on the endpoint instead of the intended sysmon binary.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
