CVE-2021-21296

Fleet versions before 4.87.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the device API that accepts hostnames and hardware serials as authentication tokens in addition to device UUIDs. Unauthenticated attackers who know or guess these non-secret identifiers can authenticate as iOS/iPadOS hosts to read device data and trigger device-scoped actions including software installation and MDM migration.

Fleet versions before 4.89.0 fail to properly filter MDM command results by team authorization in the commands/results endpoint. Team-scoped users can read MDM command results for hosts on other teams when a shared command UUID targets hosts across multiple teams, exposing host UUIDs, command payloads, and device responses.

Fleet before 4.87.0 does not protect the two endpoints that serve in-house iOS application packages and manifests (enterprise tier only) with the intended random, time-limited URL token. Because Apple's InstallEnterpriseApplication MDM command requires these URLs to be reachable without a Fleet session, they cannot rely on session-based authentication, and the missing token allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the Fleet server to download in-house IPA binaries and their metadata by guessing sequential title identifiers. The impact is limited to read-only disclosure; there is no privilege escalation or write access, and the free tier is unaffected.

Fleet before 4.89.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the activity list endpoints (GET /api/v1/fleet/activities and GET /api/v1/fleet/hosts/{id}/activities). The deprecated cursor-pagination helper interpolated the sort/order key into the SQL ORDER BY clause without an allowlist, allowing authenticated users with read access to order results by arbitrary columns. Impact is read-only and bounded to columns on the activity_past table not otherwise returned.

Fleet-maintained app install and uninstall scripts for macOS are generated from Homebrew cask metadata. In manifests generated before 2026-08-19, the script generator escaped this metadata at some interpolation sites but not all, allowing cask metadata containing shell metacharacters to be carried into scripts that execute as root. An attacker who could land crafted metadata in an upstream Homebrew cask could achieve arbitrary command execution as root on managed macOS hosts.

A security vulnerability was discovered in Fleet's Helm template preprocessing where templates evaluated by the Fleet controller could reach network resources outside the management cluster. A user who can supply bundle content to a repository referenced by a GitRepo resource can cause the Fleet controller to disclose cluster metadata and information about hosts reachable from the controller's network position.

Fleet is an open-source device management platform. In versions prior to 4.86.2, the Okta conditional access integration in Fleet Premium is vulnerable to SQL injection through a host-supplied value used in a database query without proper parameterization, allowing an attacker controlling one enrolled host to read or modify arbitrary data in the Fleet database. By disclosing arbitrary database contents, an attacker can extract stored session tokens and replay them to act as a global administrator, and on a managed fleet that administrator access enables running scripts on enrolled hosts, leading to remote code execution.

Fleet up to version 4.84.1 contains a vulnerability in the Apple MDM commands listing endpoint (GET /api/v1/fleet/mdm/apple/commands) that allows an authenticated user with the Observer role to extract sensitive values such as host enrollment secrets and APNs tokens via a sort-order oracle. An attacker can manipulate the order_key parameter and use binary search to reconstruct values character by character. Fixed in version 4.84.2.

Fleet up to version 4.84.1 contains a vulnerability in the labels host-listing endpoint (GET /api/v1/fleet/labels/{id}/hosts) that allows an authenticated user with the Observer role to extract host enrollment secrets via a sort-order oracle. An attacker can manipulate the order_key parameter and reconstruct node_key or orbit_node_key, enabling host impersonation. Fixed in version 4.84.2.

Fleet prior to version 4.87.0 contains a vulnerability in the target search endpoint (POST /api/latest/fleet/targets) that returns unmasked team enroll secrets and full team configuration, including credential-bearing agent options, to low-privilege observer-class users. Fixed in version 4.87.0.
