Fleet's user account creation via invite does not enforce invited email address
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
Fleet contained an issue in the user invitation flow where the email address provided during invite acceptance was not validated against the email address associated with the invite. An attacker who obtained a valid invite token could create an account under an arbitrary email address while inheriting the role granted by the invite, including global admin.
Potential impact
If an attacker gains access to a valid invite token, they can create a Fleet user account with an email address of their choosing while inheriting the invite’s assigned role and team memberships. This issue: - Requires possession of a valid invite token - Does not bypass authentication controls beyond invite-based account creation - Does not expose data without successful account creation
