Fleet · Fleet · CVE-2026-26061
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Fleet versions prior to 4.81.0
**Description**
Fleet, an open source device management software, has multiple unauthenticated HTTP endpoints that do not enforce a size limit when reading request bodies. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending large or repeated HTTP payloads, leading to excessive memory allocation and a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The issue impacts availability only, with no exposure of sensitive data, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, or integrity impact.
**Recommendations**
Versions prior to 4.81.0 should be upgraded to version 4.81.0 or later.
As a temporary workaround, apply request body size limits at a reverse proxy or load balancer (e.g., NGINX, Envoy).
Restrict network access to the endpoints to known IP ranges where feasible.
Monitor memory usage and restart frequency for abnormal patterns.
