An attacker who obtained a valid invite token could create an account under an arbitrary email address while inheriting the role granted by the invite, including global admin.\n\n### Impact\n\nIf an attacker gains access to a valid invite token, they can create a Fleet user account with an email address of their choosing while inheriting the invite’s assigned role and team memberships.\n\nThis issue:\n\n- Requires possession of a valid invite token\n- Does not bypass authentication controls beyond invite-based account creation\n- Does not expose data without successful account creation\n\n### Workarounds\n\nIf upgrading immediately is not possible:\n\n- Treat invite links as sensitive credentials and avoid sharing them in public or semi-public channels (e.g., Slack, Teams).\n- Revoke and reissue invites if there is any concern that an invite link may have been exposed.\n- Prefer issuing invites with the minimum required privileges and elevating roles after account creation when appropriate.\n\n### For more information\n\nIf there are any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\nSend an email to [security@fleetdm.com](mailto:security@fleetdm.com)\n\n### Credits\n\nFleet thanks @fuzzztf for responsibly reporting this issue.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.81.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-4f9r-x588-pp2h/GHSA-4f9r-x588-pp2h.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/security/advisories/GHSA-4f9r-x588-pp2h"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-34389"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-287"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-30T19:29:13Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-27T20:16:35Z","severity":"MODERATE"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U"}]}
