Severity ?
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L
Summary
Velociraptor allows collection of VQL queries packaged into Artifacts from endpoints. These artifacts can be used to do anything and usually run with elevated permissions.  To limit access to some dangerous artifact, Velociraptor allows for those to require high permissions like EXECVE to launch. The Admin.Client.UpdateClientConfig is an artifact used to update the client's configuration. This artifact did not enforce an additional required permission, allowing users with COLLECT_CLIENT permissions (normally given by the "Investigator" role) to collect it from endpoints and update the configuration. This can lead to arbitrary command execution and endpoint takeover. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the user must already have access to collect artifacts from the endpoint (i.e. have the COLLECT_CLIENT given typically by the "Investigator' role).

Estos artefactos pueden usarse para cualquier funci\u00f3n y suelen ejecutarse con permisos elevados. Para limitar el acceso a artefactos peligrosos, Velociraptor permite que estos requieran permisos elevados, como EXECVE, para su ejecuci\u00f3n. Admin.Client.UpdateClientConfig es un artefacto utilizado para actualizar la configuraci\u00f3n del cliente. Este artefacto no impuso un permiso adicional requerido, lo que permiti\u00f3 a los usuarios con permisos COLLECT_CLIENT (normalmente otorgados por el rol \"Investigador\") recopilarlos desde los endpoints y actualizar la configuraci\u00f3n. Esto puede provocar la ejecuci\u00f3n arbitraria de comandos y la toma de control del endpoint. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad con \u00e9xito, el usuario debe tener acceso para recopilar artefactos desde el endpoint (es decir, tener el permiso COLLECT_CLIENT, normalmente otorgado por el rol \"Investigador\")."
