Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) an authenticated low-privilege Capgo account on the target instance (PR:L), (2) the target instance to use corporate SSO with the provision-user endpoint enabled and configured to treat the email claim as an account-merge key, and (3) the victim SSO user to have not yet completed a first SSO login on Capgo (otherwise the canonical SSO identity is already bound). Limiting factors: the attacker must know the victim's corporate SSO email in advance, the window closes once the victim has been legitimately provisioned, and Capgo deployments that do not use SSO are not exploitable for this issue.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L) and 8.7 base score are well-aligned with the described threat: network-reachable provisioning endpoint, low attacker privileges (any registered Capgo account), no user interaction, and high confidentiality and integrity impact on the hijacked tenant. Real-world risk is concentrated in organizations that have onboarded Capgo with corporate SSO but have not yet had every user perform a first SSO login - the attacker must pre-position before the legitimate provisioning occurs, which makes the bug opportunistic and targeted rather than mass-exploitable. There is no EPSS score, no KEV listing, and no POC referenced in the supplied advisories, so urgency should be driven by exposure (do you use Capgo with SSO?) rather than by external exploitation signals; the SSRF-style trust-boundary error is, however, simple enough to weaponize once understood, so the absence of a public POC should not be read as low likelihood for SSO-enabled tenants.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers an ordinary Capgo account, then updates their public.users.email to the corporate SSO address of a targeted executive (e.g., cfo@victimcorp.com). When the executive later signs in via their corporate IdP for the first time, the provision-user endpoint locates the attacker's account by email and merges the SSO identity into it, granting the attacker authenticated access to the victim's workspace, app credentials, and update channels. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the attack only requires HTTP access and one low-privilege account.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 20, 2026

Account takeover in Capgo before 12.128.12 allows authenticated low-privileged users to hijack other users' SSO identities by abusing the SSO provisioning endpoint's reliance on a user-mutable email field as an account-merge key. By updating their own public.users.email to a target's corporate SSO address before the victim's first SSO login, an attacker causes the provision-user flow to merge the victim's federated identity into the attacker-controlled account. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Capgo 12.128.12 or later, which is the vendor-released patch referenced in GHSA-wqc6-fhwf-qpww. Until the upgrade is applied, operators of self-hosted Capgo who use corporate SSO should temporarily disable the provision-user / SSO auto-provisioning endpoint and provision SSO identities out-of-band (this blocks new SSO onboarding but prevents the merge), or apply a database-level restriction that prevents users from updating public.users.email to addresses in any SSO-claimed corporate domain (this breaks legitimate self-service email changes for those domains). Auditing public.users for accounts whose email matches a corporate SSO domain but whose creation predates that user's first SSO login is recommended to detect pre-positioning before patching. Consult the advisory at https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-wqc6-fhwf-qpww for upstream remediation details.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Capgo is an open-source live-update platform for Capacitor mobile apps that uses a Supabase-style backend; the public.users table stores user profile fields, including email, that authenticated users can write to. The SSO provisioning endpoint (provision-user) consumes the corporate SSO identity provider assertion and merges or links the federated identity to an existing local account whose email matches the assertion's email claim. This is a classic CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) pattern: a mutable, user-controlled attribute (public.users.email) is treated as a trust anchor for identity linking instead of an immutable, IdP-verified subject identifier (such as the SSO sub/oid claim or a separately verified email). The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:capgo:capgo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Capgo releases prior to 12.128.12.

DescriptionCVE.org

Capgo before 12.128.12 allows authenticated users to modify their mutable public.users.email to arbitrary addresses, which the SSO provisioning endpoint trusts as an account-merge key. Attackers can pre-position their account with a victim's corporate SSO email, causing the provision-user endpoint to merge the victim's SSO identity into the attacker-controlled account.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Capgo versions before 12.128.12 contain an account takeover vulnerability affecting SSO-enabled deployments. Authenticated users with low privileges can hijack other users' accounts by manipulating email fields during SSO provisioning, gaining unauthorized access to victims' resources and data. Organizations using Capgo with federated identity must implement interim controls immediately as no vendor patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable or restrict access to the SSO provisioning endpoint; require administrative approval for new SSO account linking; implement mandatory email verification via confirmation token; enforce multi-factor authentication for SSO accounts; deploy monitoring and alerting on email address modifications and identity merges; restrict user privilege to modify email fields if organizationally feasible; conduct identity audit to detect prior compromise attempts.
