CVE-2026-19200 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Rapid7 Velociraptor, published on 24 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
The Velociraptor verify() VQL function allows a user to verify an artifact for syntatic and other issues. Due to an implementation fault in this VQL function, the global artifact repository is used which allows callers to overwrite existing artifacts without the required permissions.
