SCA: security update for github.com/fleetdm/fleet (GHSA-63m5-974w-448v)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436836

Description

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

- Fleet is open source device management software. In versions prior to 4.78.3, 4.77.1, 4.76.2, 4.75.2, and
4.53.3, a vulnerability in Fleet's Windows MDM enrollment flow could allow an attacker to submit forged
authentication tokens that are not properly validated. Because JWT signatures were not verified, Fleet
could accept attacker-controlled identity claims, enabling enrollment of unauthorized devices under
arbitrary Azure AD user identities. Versions 4.78.3, 4.77.1, 4.76.2, 4.75.2, and 4.53.3 fix the issue. If
an immediate upgrade is not possible, affected Fleet users should temporarily disable Windows MDM.
(CVE-2026-23518)

Solution

Update the github.com/fleetdm/fleet library and its related packages to version 4.43.5-0.20260112202845-e225ef57912c or later.
