CVE-2026-18639 (GCVE-0-2026-18639)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-11 15:05 – Updated: 2026-08-11 17:14

Title

Velociraptor OIDC Authenticator susceptible to email spoofing

Summary

When Velociraptor is configured to use an OIDC IdP for authentication, it uses the email claim as a username. However, some IdP allow users to change the email claim without verification. Some IdPs do not set the "email_verified" claim and do not actually verify the email. This allows a user to impersonate another user by setting their email address within the IdP, allowing account takeover.

Severity

7.3 (High)
