An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-6948 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rapid7 Velociraptor. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6948/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6948/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-6948","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6948/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-6948","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r3xq-q2q6-7vcc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Velociraptor server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A compromised client can crash the Velociraptor server by sending crafted messages that cause unbounded memory allocation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"rapid7","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.4 contain a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the server's agent control channel.\n\nThis allows a compromised or rogue Velociraptor client to crash the server via out-of-memory (OOM) by sending crafted messages through the normal client communication channel.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Unbounded Memory Allocation in VQLResponse Result-Set Writer","id":"CVE-2026-6948","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"simple-git is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-6951"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"D-Link｜DWM-222W USB Wi-Fi Adapter - Brute-Force Protection Bypass","id":"CVE-2026-6947"},"products":["Velociraptor"],"published":"2026-05-03","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-19","vendors":["Rapid7"]},"summary":"A compromised client can crash the Velociraptor server by sending crafted messages that cause unbounded memory allocation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6948/"}
