High CVSS 7.3
CVE-2026-18639
NVD analysis in progress
When Velociraptor is configured to use an OIDC IdP for authentication, it uses the email claim as a username. However, some IdP allow users to change the email claim without verification. Some IdPs do not set the "email_verified" claim and do not actually verify the email. This allows a user to impersonate another user by setting their email address within the IdP, allowing account takeover.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network and with an ordinary user account — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- Authentication relies on a spoofable value such as an IP address or header.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
