MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.2 reflects a moderate severity rating, with the vector indicating network-accessible attack (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and low privilege requirements (PR:L), but only an authenticated attacker can exploit it. The critical impact flags for confidentiality (VC:H) and integrity (VI:H) indicate successful exploitation could expose sensitive database contents. However, the moderate base score combined with the requirement for valid MDM enrollment credentials creates a significant constraint: attackers must first obtain or generate legitimate MDM enrollment certificates, which typically requires either organizational access, certificate theft, or compromise of the MDM infrastructure itself. This requirement substantially reduces real-world risk compared to unauthenticated network vulnerabilities with identical impact. EPSS data is not provided, preventing automated exploitation probability assessment. No KEV (CISA Known Exploited Vulnerability) status is indicated, meaning no confirmed active exploitation in the wild has been reported. The combination of moderate CVSS, authentication requirements, and absence of public exploit code or active exploitation suggests this is a genuine but not immediate critical priority compared to unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerabilities. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with access to a valid MDM enrollment certificate (obtained through organizational compromise, certificate theft, or insider access) authenticates to the Fleet API and submits a malicious payload within the Apple MDM profile delivery workflow. The payload is stored in the database and later processed by Fleet's backend, triggering the second-order SQL injection. The attacker can then execute arbitrary SQL queries to extract sensitive data such as user credentials, API tokens, and device enrollment secrets, potentially leading to lateral movement within the organization or compromise of additional devices under Fleet management. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, though the attack complexity is low once the attacker possesses valid MDM enrollment credentials. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 27, 2026
SQL injection in Fleet's Apple MDM profile delivery pipeline before version 4.81.0 allows authenticated attackers with valid MDM enrollment certificates to exfiltrate or modify database contents, including user credentials, API tokens, and device enrollment secrets. This second-order SQL injection vulnerability affects the cpe:2.3:a:fleetdm:fleet product line and requires valid MDM enrollment credentials to exploit, limiting the attack surface to adversaries who have already established trust within the MDM enrollment process. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of this analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Fleet to version 4.81.0 or later immediately to apply the vendor-released patch that addresses the SQL injection vulnerability. Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should restrict network access to Fleet instances to trusted internal networks and enforce strong authentication controls on MDM enrollment certificate issuance, limiting certificate distribution to known and trusted devices. Additionally, implement database access controls and monitor SQL query logs for suspicious patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. Review MDM enrollment certificate logs to identify any certificates issued to unexpected principals. The official patch and migration guidance are available in the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/security/advisories/GHSA-v895-833r-8c45.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Fleet is an open-source device management platform that integrates with Apple's Mobile Device Management (MDM) infrastructure to manage enrolled Apple devices. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection), specifically a second-order variant where malicious input is stored during MDM profile delivery and later executed as SQL commands when that data is processed. Second-order SQL injection is particularly dangerous because the attack vector and execution point are separated, making detection and input validation more difficult. The attack occurs within Fleet's MDM profile delivery pipeline, which handles certificate-based authentication and device enrollment workflows. The vulnerability requires an attacker to possess a valid MDM enrollment certificate, indicating the attack surface is limited to entities that have successfully participated in an MDM trust establishment process.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Fleet is open source device management software. Prior to 4.81.0, a second-order SQL injection vulnerability in Fleet's Apple MDM profile delivery pipeline could allow an attacker with a valid MDM enrollment certificate to exfiltrate or modify the contents of the Fleet database, including user credentials, API tokens, and device enrollment secrets. Version 4.81.0 patches the issue.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Fleet should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-34385, a SQL injection vulnerability rated CVSS 6.2. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute code or inject malicious input. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: deploy WAF rules, restrict network access, enable logging.
