CVE-2026-34386 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4. A fix is available for github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Fleet vulnerable to SQL injection in MDM bootstrap package by authenticated team or global admin
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
A SQL Injection vulnerability in Fleet's MDM bootstrap package configuration allows an authenticated user with Team Admin or Global Admin privileges to modify arbitrary team configurations, exfiltrate sensitive data from the Fleet database, and inject arbitrary content into team configs via direct API calls.
Impact
An authenticated user with Team Admin or Global Admin role can exploit a flaw in how user-supplied input is handled during MDM bootstrap package configuration. Insufficient server-side input validation allows crafted input to manipulate database queries in unintended ways.
Successful exploitation could enable cross-team data corruption, exfiltration of sensitive information such as password hashes and API tokens, and potential privilege escalation. Exploitation requires authentication with team or global admin privileges and MDM to be enabled.
This issue does not affect instances where Apple MDM is disabled.
Workarounds
If an immediate upgrade is not possible, affected Fleet users should temporarily disable Apple MDM or limit admin roles.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4 to 4.81.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-34386 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-34386 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-34386. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-34386 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-34386 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
