Fleet Helm Templating (0.12-0.16) Clusters Metadata Disclosure
CVE-2026-75036 Published on September 3, 2026
Fleet: DNS exfiltration via Sprig getHostByName in fleet.yaml Helm template preprocessing
A security vulnerability was discovered in Fleet's Helm template preprocessing where templates evaluated by the Fleet controller could reach network resources outside the management cluster. A user who can supply bundle content to a repository referenced by a `GitRepo` resource can cause the Fleet controller to:
- Disclose cluster metadata available to the templating context.
- Reveal information about hosts reachable from the controller's network position.
Because the disclosure channel is name resolution, it may remain effective in environments where outbound traffic is otherwise restricted. The disclosed information is limited to values exposed to the Fleet templating context and to name resolution results. Integrity and availability of managed clusters are not affected.
This issue affects Fleet:
from 0.12.0 before 0.12.19,
from 0.13.0 before 0.13.15,
from 0.14.0 before 0.14.10,
from 0.15.0 before 0.15.6, and
from 0.16.0 before 0.16.1.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-75036 is exploitable with network access, and requires small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality and integrity and availability.
Weakness Types
What is a SSRF Vulnerability?
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.
CVE-2026-75036 has been classified to as a SSRF vulnerability or weakness.
