What is CVE-2026-78412?

The Velociraptor's WatchEvent gRPC API suffers from an API permissions issue that allows users to specify an OrgId for event streaming. Due to improper permission checks, a user with access in one organization can retrieve event data from another organization without authorization, leading to a potential exposure of sensitive information. This flaw emphasizes the necessity for stringent access controls and proper validation of API parameters to ensure data integrity and privacy across different organizational domains.
