SCA: security update for github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 (GHSA-ffg9-j72f-j6xm)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441840

Description

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

- Fleet is open source device management software. Prior to version 4.82.0, a vulnerability in Fleet's
Windows MDM enrollment flow allows authentication tokens from any Azure AD tenant to be accepted. Because
Fleet validates JWT signatures using Microsoft's multi-tenant JWKS endpoint but does not enforce the `aud`
(audience) or `iss` (issuer) claims, any Microsoft-signed Azure AD access token containing the expected
scopes can be used to authenticate to Fleet's MDM endpoints. If Windows MDM is enabled, an attacker with
access to any Azure AD tenant can obtain a valid Microsoft-signed token and use it to enroll unauthorized
devices and interact with Fleet's MDM management APIs. During device management, Fleet may expose
sensitive enrollment secrets embedded in MDM command payloads, enabling further unauthorized access.
Version 4.82.0 contains a patch. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, affected Fleet users should
temporarily disable Windows MDM. (CVE-2026-24899)

Solution

Update the github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.82.0 or later.
