Velociraptor VFSGetBuffer API path deny list bypass

Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026 · Assigned by rapid7

Description

The Velociraptor gRPC API has a VFSGetBuffer endpoint which allows reading files from the datastore. To prevent users from reading sensitive files or accessing other orgs, the requested path is prefix checked against a list of denied prefixes. This prefix check can be bypassed allowing a user to access usually denied files. If the user has read permission in the ROOT org, this allows access to other orgs, in which the user may not have permission.
