SCA: security update for github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 (GHSA-ch68-7cf4-35vr)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413912

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- fleet is an open source device management, built on osquery. Versions prior to 4.9.1 expose a limited
ability to spoof SAML authentication with missing audience verification. This impacts deployments using
SAML SSO in two specific cases: 1. A malicious or compromised Service Provider (SP) could reuse the SAML
response to log into Fleet as a user -- only if the user has an account with the same email in Fleet,
_and_ the user signs into the malicious SP via SAML SSO from the same Identity Provider (IdP) configured
with Fleet. 2. A user with an account in Fleet could reuse a SAML response intended for another SP to log
into Fleet. This is only a concern if the user is blocked from Fleet in the IdP, but continues to have an
account in Fleet. If the user is blocked from the IdP entirely, this cannot be exploited. Fleet 4.9.1
resolves this issue. Users unable to upgrade should: Reduce the length of sessions on your IdP to reduce
the window for malicious re-use, Limit the amount of SAML Service Providers/Applications used by user
accounts with access to Fleet, and When removing access to Fleet in the IdP, delete the Fleet user from
Fleet as well. (CVE-2022-23600)
