CVE-2026-44937 is a high-severity security vulnerability in github.com/rancher/fleet (go), affecting versions >= 0.15.0, < 0.15.2. It is fixed in 0.15.2, 0.14.6, 0.13.11, 0.12.15.
Impact A vulnerability has been identified in Fleet when the webhook endpoint is configured without a secret; an attacker can forge webhook requests. The attacker doesn't need to know the specific repository or path configured in the GitRepo resource to make Fleet process these requests. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause the following impacts: Trigger continuous repository re-cloning, which increases network traffic and can deplete resources on the management cluster. Downgrade running services to any historical revision available in the remote Git repository. This risk applies if the attacker has read access to the target Git repository and knows its configured path. Please consult the associated MITRE ATT&CK - Technique - T1499.004: Endpoint Denial of Service for further information about this category of attack. Patches To resolve this vulnerability, upgrade Fleet to a patched version. This upgrade version escapes the URL and path to the remote repository received from webhooks, which prevents regular expressions from being used as a replacement for the URL and path. Patched versions of Fleet include releases v0.15.2, v0.14.6, 0.13.11, and v0.12.15. Workarounds If you can't upgrade to a fixed version, please make sure to only enable webhooks with a shared secret.

CVE-2026-44937 has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (0.15.2, 0.14.6, 0.13.11, 0.12.15). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
