Fleet's unbounded request body read allows remote Denial of Service

Published Mar 27, 2026 · Updated Mar 31, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Fleet is open source device management software. Prior to 4.81.0, Fleet contained multiple unauthenticated HTTP endpoints that read request bodies without enforcing a size limit. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this behavior by sending large or repeated HTTP payloads, causing excessive memory allocation and resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. Version 4.81.0 patches the issue.
