Description

Velociraptor&amp;#39;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&amp;#39;s org instead of against the target org.<br /> <br /> This allows an administrator in one org to impersonate another user in another org, in which they may not have the IMPERSONATE permission.
