Effective December 15th, 2023, the NVD will exclusively support the more advanced, flexible, and user-friendly 2.0 API, rendering previous versions of Fleet incompatible. This update mandates an essential upgrade to Fleet v4.41.0 (or later) to maintain access to the latest vulnerability data and ensure continuous monitoring and security compliance.

This feature enables the execution of scripts directly from the Host Details page for Windows devices, providing a streamlined and efficient process for script management. By extending script support to Windows, Fleet demonstrates a commitment to openness, catering to a broader user base and acknowledging the diverse environments in which its users operate. This update signifies Fleet’s dedication to ownership, empowering users with robust tools to manage their devices effectively across different operating systems.
