Fleet versions before 4.87.0 have a missing authorization vulnerability in two endpoints that serve in-house iOS application packages and manifests for the enterprise tier. These endpoints do not enforce the intended random, time-limited URL token, allowing unauthenticated attackers with network access to download IPA binaries and metadata by guessing sequential title identifiers. The vulnerability only allows read-only disclosure and does not affect privilege escalation or write access. The free tier is not affected.

Fleet versions prior to 4.89.0 contain an SQL injection vulnerability in the activity list endpoints. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user with read access to the Activity resource to influence the SQL ORDER BY clause via a sort/order key without proper allowlisting. The impact is limited to read-only inference of certain columns in the activity_past table that are not normally exposed. There is no write access, privilege escalation, or access to sensitive host-related data through this flaw. The issue is fixed in version 4.89.0 by removing the deprecated helper and sanitizing the sort column input.

CVE-2026-101045 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Fleet's app install and uninstall scripts for macOS. The vulnerability arises because Fleet-generated scripts, created from Homebrew cask metadata before 2026-08-19, did not properly escape shell metacharacters at all interpolation points. This flaw could allow an attacker who manages to insert crafted metadata into an upstream Homebrew cask to execute arbitrary commands as root on managed macOS hosts during app installation or uninstallation. The vulnerability requires the malicious metadata to pass both upstream Homebrew cask review and Fleet's automated ingestion review. The issue was fixed on 2026-08-19 by fully escaping cask metadata in all script interpolation sites, with the fix included in Fleet version 4.92.0. Because manifests are centrally generated and distributed, remediation was applied automatically without customer action.

A vulnerability has been identified in Fleet's agent-side deployer, which did not filter security-sensitive keys from namespaceLabels in fleet.yaml (or BundleDeployment.spec.options.namespaceLabels) when applying them to the target namespace. An attacker with git push access to a Fleet-monitored repository could overwrite Pod Security Standards (PSS) enforcement labels on a target namespace. This allows the attacker to weaken admission controls and deploy workloads that PSS policies would otherwise block.

Potential forgery of webhook requests when using a unauthenticated webhook in SUSE Rancher Fleet 0.15 before 0.15.2, 0.14 before 0.14.6, 0.13 before 0.13.11 and 0.12 before 0.12.5 could be used by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or a downgrade attack on other repositories on the system.

Missing filtering when the helmRepoURLRegex field isn't set on a GitRepo resource in SUSE Rancher Fleet's bundle reader in 0.15 before 0.15.2, 0.14 before 0.14.6, 0.13 before 0.13.11 and 0.12 before 0.12.15 forwards Helm authentication credentials (BasicAuth) to any URL specified in the helm.repo field of a fleet.yaml file, allowing attackers able to push to fleet monitored git repos to leak helm access credentials.

A path traversal vulnerability was found in Fleet's ImageScan subsystem in Rancher Fleet 0.12.0 up to 0.12.16, 0.13.0 up to 0.13.12, 0.14.0 up to 0.14.7 and 0.15.0 up to 0.15.3 could be used to traverse outside of the intended directory, causing a denial of service.

Fleet is open source device management software. Prior to version 4.80.1, a vulnerability in Fleet's IP extraction logic allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass API rate limiting by spoofing client IP headers. This may allow brute-force login attempts or other abuse against Fleet instances exposed to the public internet. Fleet extracted client IP addresses from request headers (`True-Client-IP`, `X-Real-IP`, `X-Forwarded-For`) without validating that those headers originate from a trusted proxy. The extracted IP is used as the key for rate limiting and IP ban decisions. As a result, an attacker could rotate the value of these headers on each request, causing Fleet to treat each attempt as coming from a different client. This effectively bypasses per-IP rate limits on sensitive endpoints such as the login API, enabling unrestricted brute-force or credential stuffing attacks. This issue primarily affects Fleet instances that are directly exposed to the internet without a reverse proxy that overwrites forwarded-IP headers. Instances behind a properly configured proxy or WAF are less affected. Version 4.80.1 contains a patch. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, administrators should ensure Fleet is deployed behind a reverse proxy (e.g., nginx, Cloudflare, AWS ALB) that overwrites `X-Forwarded-For` with the true client IP, and apply rate limiting at the proxy or WAF layer.

Fleet is open source device management software. Prior to version 4.81.0, a vulnerability in Fleet's software installer pipeline could allow a crafted software package to execute arbitrary commands as root (macOS/Linux) or SYSTEM (Windows) on managed endpoints when an uninstall is triggered. When a software package (.pkg, .deb, .rpm, .exe, or .msi) is uploaded to Fleet, metadata is extracted from the package binary and used to generate uninstall scripts. In affected versions, this metadata is not properly sanitized before being included in the generated scripts. A specially crafted package containing malicious values in its metadata fields could result in unintended command execution when the uninstall script runs on managed endpoints. Version 4.81.0 contains a patch. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, administrators should avoid uploading software packages obtained from untrusted or unverified sources. Additionally, administrators can manually inspect and edit auto-generated uninstall scripts before deployment.

Fleet is open source device management software. Prior to version 4.81.0, Fleet contained a denial-of-service (DoS) issue in the gRPC Launcher `PublishLogs` endpoint. In affected versions, certain unexpected input values were not handled gracefully, which could cause the Fleet server process to terminate while processing an authenticated request from an enrolled Launcher host. An authenticated attacker with access to any enrolled Launcher node key could cause an immediate and complete denial of service by sending a single gRPC request to the `PublishLogs` endpoint. This vulnerability impacts availability only. There is no exposure of sensitive data, no authentication bypass, no privilege escalation, and no integrity impact. Version 4.81.0 contains a patch. If upgrading immediately is not possible, the following mitigations can reduce exposure. Restrict network access to the Fleet gRPC endpoint where feasible (for example, limiting inbound access to known host IP ranges); deploy Fleet behind infrastructure that terminates or filters gRPC traffic if Launcher log ingestion is not required; and/or monitor for repeated Fleet process crashes or unexpected restarts indicating potential exploitation.
