CVE-2026-24899

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.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
