What is CVE-2024-10526?
CVE-2024-10526 is a high-severity vulnerability in Rapid7 Velociraptor, published on 7 Nov 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Rapid7 Velociraptor MSI Installer versions below 0.73.3 suffer from a vulnerability whereby it creates the installation directory with WRITE_DACL permission to the BUILTIN\\Users group. This allows local users who are not administrators to grant themselves the Full Control permission on Velociraptor's files. By modifying Velociraptor's files, local users can subvert the binary and cause the Velociraptor service to execute arbitrary code as the SYSTEM user, or to replace the Velociraptor binary completely. This issue is fixed in version 0.73.3.
