SCA: security update for github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 (GHSA-49xw-vfc4-7p43)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438105

Description

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

 - Fleet is open source device management software. A SQL injection vulnerability in versions prior to 4.80.1
 allowed authenticated users to inject arbitrary SQL expressions via the `order_key` query parameter. Due
 to unsafe use of `goqu.I()` when constructing the `ORDER BY` clause, specially crafted input could escape
 identifier quoting and be interpreted as executable SQL. An authenticated attacker with access to the
 affected endpoint could inject SQL expressions into the underlying MySQL query. Although the injection
 occurs in an `ORDER BY` context, it is sufficient to enable blind SQL injection techniques that can
 disclose database information through conditional expressions that affect result ordering. Crafted
 expressions may also cause excessive computation or query failures, potentially leading to degraded
 performance or denial of service. No direct evidence of reliable data modification or stacked query
 execution was demonstrated. Version 4.80.1 fixes the issue. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, users
 should restrict access to the affected endpoint to trusted roles only and ensure that any user-supplied
 sort or column parameters are strictly allow-listed at the application or proxy layer. (CVE-2026-26186)

Solution

Update the github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.80.1 or later.
