Last modified

CVE-2025-0914 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An improper access control issue in the VQL shell feature in Velociraptor Versions < 0.73.4 allowed authenticated users to execute the execve() plugin in deployments where this was explicitly forbidden by configuring the prevent_execve flag in the configuration file. This setting is not usually recommended and is uncommonly used, so this issue will only affect users who do set it. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
