CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedVelociraptor is vulnerable due to improper access control that allows users with the "investigator" role to modify the "compiled_collector_args" field via an API call, enabling them to execute arbitrary VQL statements with administrative privileges. This critical flaw poses a significant risk, as it can be exploited to gain unauthorized access and control over the Velociraptor server. Organizations utilizing Velociraptor should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate potential exploitation and protect their systems.
Original NVD Description
Velociraptor stores the compiled VQL in the hunt object internally to avoid having to recompile the artifacts for each endpoint in the hunt. Although the field "compiled_collector_args" is an internal field, Velociraptor allowed the field to be set from a user API call. This allows another user who can schedule a hunt (minimal role of "investigator" ) to set the compiled VQL statements for the hunt bypassing any ACL checks that would normally be applied. This flaw can then be escalated to allow the "investigator" user to run arbitrary VQL statements as an administrator user on the Velociraptor server.
