Upgrade github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4/orbit/pkg/useraction to version 4.83.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the rotateFileVaultKey function in orbit/pkg/useraction/useraction_darwin.go. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on macOS by supplying a crafted FileVault username or password that is interpolated into the expect script used to run fdesetup changerecovery -personal. This can let a local user or managed action that reaches the escrow flow run attacker-controlled shell input with the privileges of the Fleet Desktop process, exposing the host to unauthorized command execution and loss of control over FileVault recovery key rotation.
