Summary
Fleet is an open-source device management platform built on osquery. In versions prior to 4.86.2, the Okta conditional access integration in Fleet Premium is vulnerable to SQL injection through a host-supplied value that is used in a database query without proper parameterization, allowing an attacker who controls a single enrolled host to read or modify arbitrary data in the Fleet database. The value is reported by the host's own agent and stored verbatim, then used on an unauthenticated request path that supports the conditional access integration, so any party controlling one enrolled host, the lowest-privilege position in the product, can influence the query. By disclosing arbitrary database contents an attacker can extract stored session tokens and replay them to act as a global administrator, and on a managed fleet that administrator access enables running scripts on enrolled hosts, leading to remote code execution. The issue requires Fleet Premium with the Okta conditional access integration enabled and does not affect instances where it is not configured. This issue is fixed in version 4.86.2.
