- Summary
- Fleet server may terminate unexpectedly when handling certain gRPC requests
- Details

Summary
Fleet contained a denial-of-service (DoS) issue in the gRPC Launcher
PublishLogsendpoint. In affected versions, certain unexpected input values were not handled gracefully, which could cause the Fleet server process to terminate while processing an authenticated request from an enrolled Launcher host.Impact
An authenticated attacker with access to any enrolled Launcher node key could cause an immediate and complete denial of service by sending a single gRPC request to the
PublishLogsendpoint.This vulnerability impacts availability only. There is:
- No exposure of sensitive data
- No authentication bypass
- No privilege escalation
- No integrity impact
Workarounds
If upgrading immediately is not possible, the following mitigations can reduce exposure:
- Restrict network access to the Fleet gRPC endpoint where feasible (for example, limiting inbound access to known host IP ranges).
- Deploy Fleet behind infrastructure that terminates or filters gRPC traffic if Launcher log ingestion is not required.
- Monitor for repeated Fleet process crashes or unexpected restarts indicating potential exploitation.
