CVE-2026-72657
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in Fleet Server Leading to Information Disclosure
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Fleet Server can lead to information disclosure via Manipulating User-Controlled Variables (CAPEC-77). The authorization decision for artifact downloads relied on a client-supplied value that was persisted without being validated against the server-side record of the requesting agent's assignment. An authenticated party in possession of a valid enrolled agent credential could therefore retrieve a policy the agent is not assigned to.
