MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid Capgo public API key created with mode=all and constrained via limited_to_apps to at least one application on a multi-app account; the attacker must invoke the API key management endpoints (get/put/delete/post handlers) over the network. Exploitation is limited to accounts that host more than one app under the same organization and that have provisioned app-scoped mode=all keys to less-trusted parties - single-app tenants, accounts using narrowly-moded keys, and self-hosted deployments without external key holders have no realistic exposure. No user interaction is required and no additional vulnerability chaining is needed once a qualifying key is held. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L) is internally consistent with the description: exploitation is remote, low-complexity, requires only a low-privilege scoped API key, and yields high confidentiality and integrity impact on sibling credentials with limited availability impact. There is no CISA KEV listing, no public POC, and no EPSS score supplied, so real-world exploitation pressure cannot be quantified - risk is best understood as a credible insider/tenant-isolation threat rather than mass-scanned RCE. Risk is highest for multi-app Capgo tenants that provision per-app keys to third parties or CI systems, since any such party gains de facto account-level key administration; single-app deployments are largely unaffected in practice. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A third-party developer or CI pipeline is issued a Capgo API key with mode=all but limited_to_apps set to a single non-production application. Using that key against the public API key-management endpoints, the holder lists sibling API keys belonging to the same account's production app, then rotates or deletes them - locking out the legitimate owner or substituting attacker-controlled credentials for subsequent OTA update operations. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 23, 2026
Authorization bypass in Capgo before 12.128.2 lets authenticated holders of an app-scoped public API key enumerate, modify, or delete other API keys on the same account that belong to different applications. The flaw stems from missing limited_to_apps enforcement in the get/put/delete/post key-management handlers, which only validate the limited_to_orgs scope. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the issue is disclosed via a GitHub Security Advisory and VulnCheck.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Capgo to 12.128.2 or later, per GHSA-hwc7-j2p6-43xp (https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-hwc7-j2p6-43xp). Until the upgrade can be deployed, the most effective compensating control is to rotate and stop issuing mode=all keys that rely on limited_to_apps for isolation - replace them with keys whose mode is narrowed to only the operations required (read/write/upload) so the affected get/put/delete/post key-management endpoints are not reachable; the trade-off is that workflows expecting a single broad key may need to be split into per-purpose keys. Additionally, audit account API key inventories for unexpected creations, modifications, or deletions performed by app-scoped keys, and revoke any credentials whose provenance cannot be confirmed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Capgo is an open-source live-update and over-the-air (OTA) delivery platform for Capacitor-based mobile applications, distributed primarily via the Cap-go/capgo project. Its public API uses scoped API keys where a key created with mode=all is intended to be further constrained by two orthogonal scopes: limited_to_orgs (organization scope) and limited_to_apps (per-application scope). The vulnerable handlers correctly evaluate the organization scope but omit the per-app scope check, producing a CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management condition: a credential is granted broader effective authority than its declared scope implies, breaking the isolation boundary between sibling apps under the same account.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its public API key management handlers (get/put/delete/post). API keys created with mode=all but restricted to a single app via limited_to_apps are only checked for limited_to_orgs and not for limited_to_apps, so an app-scoped key can enumerate, update, and delete sibling API keys belonging to the same account that are outside its declared app scope, enabling tampering with account-level credentials.
Executive ViewAI
Capgo versions before 12.128.2 contain an authorization bypass that allows authenticated API users to access, modify, or delete API keys belonging to other applications within the same account, potentially enabling lateral movement and credential compromise across your application portfolio. Organizations using Capgo for deployment or CI/CD orchestration face risk of unauthorized access to multiple applications and data exposure through stolen API credentials.
Until vendor patch available: (1) Restrict API key scopes to minimal necessary applications; (2) Rotate app-scoped API keys on a monthly basis; (3) Implement network-layer access controls (IP allowlisting, VPN gating) on Capgo API endpoints; (4) Enable comprehensive audit logging for all key-management API calls; (5) Monitor for suspicious enumeration or deletion of keys across application boundaries; (6) Consider temporary suspension of cross-application API key sharing until patch is released.
