CVE-2026-23999  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-338  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4/server/mdm/apple to version 4.80.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) due to the use of a predictable algorithm for generating device lock and wipe PINs based solely on the current Unix timestamp. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to a locked device by predicting the correct PIN within a limited search window.

Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker has physical access to the device and knowledge of the approximate lock time.
