AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict assignment of the COLLECT_CLIENT permission to trusted users only, and monitor for unauthorized hunt deletions. Avoid granting investigator roles broadly. Follow vendor advisories for updates on patches or official fixes.

Description

The hunt_delete() VQL function allows deleting hunts. Velociraptor misapplied the permission check requiring only COLLECT_CLIENT (usually assigned to the "investigator" role) instead of the "DELETE_RESULTS" permission (usually only assigned to "administrators").
