CVE-2026-23517
EPSS 0.13%Fleet has an Access Control vulnerability in debug/pprof endpoints
Description
### Summary A broken access control issue in Fleet allowed authenticated users to access debug and profiling endpoints regardless of role. As a result, low-privilege users could view internal server diagnostics and trigger resource-intensive profiling operations. ### Impact Fleet’s debug/pprof endpoints are accessible to any authenticated user regardless of role, including the lowest-privilege “Observer” role. This allows low-privilege users to access sensitive server internals, including runtime profiling data and in-memory application state, and to trigger CPU-intensive profiling operations that could lead to denial of service. ### Patches - 4.78.3 - 4.77.1 - 4.76.2 - 4.75.2 - 4.53.3 ### Workarounds If an immediate upgrade is not possible, users should put the debug/pprof endpoints behind an IP allowlist. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) Join #fleet in [osquery Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/osquery/shared_invite/zt-h29zm0gk-s2DBtGUTW4CFel0f0IjTEw) ### Credits We thank @secfox-ai for responsibly reporting this issue.
