Rapid7 InsightVM, Nexpose, and the Insight Agent execute discovered executables during authenticated assessment without validating file ownership, allowing a local low-privileged user to run code as the scan credential (Scan Engine) or as root/SYSTEM (Insight Agent). Fixed in Scan Engine content 1.1.3935 and Insight Agent content component 0.0.245.0.

Server-Side Cross-Site Scripting and Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the markdowntopdf action of Rapid7 InsightConnect Markdown Plugin version 3.1.4 and earlier on Linux allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript server-side and make arbitrary outbound HTTP requests via crafted content embedded in Markdown input. The PDF rendering engine does not restrict script execution or outbound network access.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Rapid7 InsightConnect Tcpdump Plugin on Linux allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the options or filter parameters due to insufficient input sanitization in shell command construction.

Path Traversal vulnerability in the createarchive function of Rapid7 InsightConnect Compression Plugin on Linux allows authenticated attackers to write to unintended file paths via crafted filename input. The impact is limited to file corruption as content cannot be controlled by the attacker.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in the traceroute action of Rapid7 InsightConnect Traceroute Plugin on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the host, port, maxttl, count, or timeout request parameters due to insufficient input validation when constructing shell commands.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in the processstring action of Rapid7 InsightConnect AWK Plugin on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the text or expression parameters due to unsafe shell command construction in the processing pipeline.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Rapid7 InsightConnect Finger Plugin on Linux allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the user or host parameters due to insufficient input validation in shell command construction.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in the TR action of Rapid7 InsightConnect Translate Plugin on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the text or expression parameters due to insufficient input sanitization in shell command construction.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Rapid7 InsightConnect SQLmap Plugin on Linux allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the apihost or apiport parameters during connection configuration due to insufficient input validation.

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Rapid7 InsightConnect RPM Plugin on Linux allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the repo, key, or name parameters due to insufficient input sanitization in shell command construction.

A YAML injection vulnerability exists in the Windows.Collectors.Remapping artifact of Rapid7 Velociraptor before version 0.76.6. The hostname field in clientinfo.json inside a collection ZIP is inserted into a YAML template via Go's text/template without escaping. An attacker providing a crafted collection ZIP can leverage literal double quotes and newlines in the hostname to break out of the YAML quoted string and inject a new mount remapping entry. When an analyst applies the generated remapping file with --remap, arbitrary VQL executes on their machine with NullACLManager (all permissions granted, unsandboxed).

Rapid7 Metasploit Pro is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation attack that allows a user to gain SYSTEM level control of a Windows host. When started the metasploitPostgreSQL service would start the postgres.exe child process which would in turn load an OpenSSL configuration file from a static location. This static location would be writable by a pre-existing "vagrant" user, if they already existed on the system. Metasploit does not create local accounts, an Administrator would need to create it. By planting a crafted openssl.cnf file an attacker can trick the high-privilege service into executing arbitrary commands. This effectively permits the unprivileged vagrant user to bypass security controls and achieve a full host compromise under the agent's SYSTEM level access.

An off-by-one error (CWE-193) in the ConsumeUnit16Array and ConsumeUnit64Array functions in Velocidex Velociraptor before version 0.76.5 on Windows and Linux allows a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a process crash by providing a specially crafted .evtx file to the parseevtx VQL plugin.

An authorization bypass (CWE-639) in the GetUserRoles gRPC API endpoint in Velocidex Velociraptor below version 0.76.5 allows any authenticated low-privilege user to retrieve the complete ACL policy (roles and permissions) for any user across all organizations by supplying targeted Name and Org parameters via a network request.

The Rapid7 Insight Agent (versions > 4.1.0.2) is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation attack that allows users to gain SYSTEM level control of a Windows host. Upon startup the agent service attempts to load an OpenSSL configuration file from a non-existent directory that is writable by standard users. By planting a crafted openssl.cnf file an attacker can trick the high-privilege service into executing arbitrary commands. This effectively permits an unprivileged user to bypass security controls and achieve a full host compromise under the agent’s SYSTEM level access.

Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.3 contain a vulnerability in the query() plugin which allows access to all orgs with the user's current ACL token. This allows an authenticated GUI user with access in one org, to use the query() plugin, in a notebook cell, to run VQL queries on other orgs which they may not have access to. The user's permissions in the other org are the same as the permissions they have in the org containing the notebook.

The installer certificate files in the …/bootstrap/common/ssl folder do not seem to have restricted permissions on Windows systems (users have read and execute access). For the client.key file in particular, this could potentially lead to exploits, as this exposes agent identity material to any locally authenticated standard user.

Rapid7 Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.2 contain an improper input validation vulnerability in the client monitoring message handler on the Velociraptor server (primarily Linux) that allows an authenticated remote attacker to write to arbitrary internal server queues via a crafted monitoring message with a malicious queue name. The server handler that receives client monitoring messages does not sufficiently validate the queue name supplied by the client, allowing a rogue client to write arbitrary messages to privileged internal queues. This may lead to remote code execution on the Velociraptor server. Rapid7 Hosted Velociraptor instances are not affected by this vulnerability.

An eval() injection vulnerability in the Rapid7 Insight Agent beaconing logic for Linux versions could theoretically allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution as root via a crafted beacon response. Because the Agent uses mutual TLS (mTLS) to verify commands from the Rapid7 Platform, it is unlikely that the eval() function could be exploited remotely without prior, highly privileged access to the backend platform.

Rapid7 InsightVM versions before 8.34.0 contain a signature verification issue on the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) cloud endpoint that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to InsightVM accounts setup via "Security Console" installations, resulting in full account takeover. The issue occurs due to the application processing these unsigned assertions and issuing session cookies that granted access to the targeted user accounts. This has been fixed in version 8.34.0 of InsightVM.

A security vulnerability has been identified in Rapid7 Nexpose. Remediation is in progress.

Rapid7 Velociraptor versions before 0.75.6 contain a directory traversal issue on Linux servers that allows a rogue client to upload a file which is written outside the datastore directory. Velociraptor is normally only allowed to write in the datastore directory. The issue occurs due to insufficient sanitization of directory names which end with a ".", only encoding the final "." AS "%2E".

Although files can be written to incorrect locations, the containing directory must end with "%2E". This limits the impact of this vulnerability, and prevents it from overwriting critical files.

Rapid7 AppSpider Pro versions below 7.5.021 suffer from a project name validation vulnerability, whereby an attacker can change the project name directly in the configuration file to a name that already exists. This issue stems from a lack of effective verification of the uniqueness of project names when editing them outside the application in affected versions. This vulnerability was remediated in version 7.5.021 of the product.

Rapid7 Appspider Pro versions below 7.5.021, suffer from a broken access control vulnerability in the application's configuration file loading mechanism, whereby an attacker can place files in directories belonging to other users or projects. Affected versions allow standard users to add custom configuration files. These files, which are loaded in alphabetical order, can override or change the settings of the original configuration files, creating a security vulnerability. This issue stems from improper directory access management.

This vulnerability was remediated in version 7.5.021 of the product.

Rapid7 Velociraptor contains an incorrect default permissions vulnerability that can lead to arbitrary command execution and endpoint takeover. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the user must already have access to collect artifacts from the endpoint.
