Summary
Velociraptor before 0.77.2 evaluates the IMPERSONATE permission against the caller's org instead of the target org, allowing an administrator in one org to impersonate a user in another org.
Risk Assessment
An administrator can gain unauthorized access to data and actions in other orgs, breaking permission isolation.
Recommendation
Update Velociraptor to version 0.77.2 or later, which includes the fix.
Original NVD description (English source)
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.
