Vulnerability in github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 (CVE-2026-24899)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 (CVE-2026-24899). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via aud. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.82.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
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.
Impact
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.
Workarounds
If an immediate upgrade is not possible, affected Fleet users should temporarily disable Windows MDM.
