Technical details
The vulnerability exists because Velociraptor exposes an internal "compiled_collector_args" field through its user API, allowing an investigator-role user to set pre-compiled VQL statements that bypass ACL checks normally applied to artifact execution. An attacker with investigator privileges can craft malicious compiled VQL and execute it with administrator context on the Velociraptor server. The issue affects versions prior to 0.77.2.
