CVE-2026-19584

Velociraptor VQL injection during notebook restore from backup

Published Sep 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Velociraptor allows for the creation of notebook backups in its default enabled daily backup feature. When Velociraptor restores the backup, the notebook cell content is interpolated into a template with no ACL checks. This allows a malicious user with NOTEBOOK_EDITOR permission to plant a VQL query which will be evaluated at elevated permissions if the notebook's backup is subsequently restored.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Inspect the backup zip before restoring it to ensure it does not include malicious notebook contents. Do not automatically restore backup from untrusted sources.
