Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability description explicitly identifies the copy() function in vql/filesystem/copy.go as the root cause. The documentation states that while read permissions are checked, write permissions for the destination path are not validated. This matches the CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) classification, as the function fails to enforce required write-access controls. The provided GitHub file paths and function name are repeated in multiple sources (CVE, GHSA, and Velociraptor's own advisory), confirming the target.
