CVE-2025-23390
Published:March 18, 2026
Updated:August 27, 2026
A vulnerability has been identified within Fleet where, by default, Fleet will automatically trust a remote server’s certificate when connecting through SSH if the certificate isn’t set in the "known_hosts" file. This could allow the execution of a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack against Fleet. In case the server that is being connected to has a trusted entry in the known_hosts file, then Fleet will correctly check the authenticity of the presented certificate. Please consult the associated "MITRE ATT&CK - Technique - Adversary-in-the-Middle" (https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1557/) for further information about this category of attack.
