Package

Affected versions

<= 4.78.2

Patched versions

>= 4.78.3

Description

Summary

A vulnerability in Fleet’s Windows MDM enrollment flow could allow an attacker to submit forged authentication tokens that are not properly validated. Because JWT signatures were not verified, Fleet could accept attacker-controlled identity claims, enabling enrollment of unauthorized devices under arbitrary Azure AD user identities.

Impact

If Windows MDM is enabled, an attacker can enroll rogue devices by submitting a forged JWT containing arbitrary identity claims. Due to missing JWT signature verification, Fleet accepts these claims without validating that the token was issued by Azure AD, allowing enrollment under any Azure AD user identity.

Patches

  • 4.78.3
  • 4.77.1
  • 4.76.2
  • 4.75.2
  • 4.53.3

Workarounds

If an immediate upgrade is not possible, affected Fleet users should temporarily disable Windows MDM.
