CVE-2026-6948

Status: Awaiting AnalysisMedium (4.9)—

Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.4 contain a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the server's agent control channel.

This 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.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
