CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows administrators in one organization to impersonate users from another organization due to improper evaluation of the IMPERSONATE permission in Velociraptor's VQL query() plugin. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data and actions within the target organization. Organizations using Velociraptor versions prior to 0.77.2 should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate potential security breaches.
Original NVD Description
Velociraptor's VQL has a query() plugin which allows running a VQL query in a different org or user context. To be able to run as a different user, the calling user needs to have the IMPERSONATE permission (usually only given to administrators). Velociraptor versions prior to 0.77.2 evaluate this permission against the caller's org instead of against the target org. This allows an administrator in one org to impersonate another user in another org, in which they may not have the IMPERSONATE permission.
