Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated Capgo account (PR:L) and knowledge of another tenant's limited-key identifier, which the attacker submits in the client-controlled x-limited-key-id HTTP header to any endpoint protected by middlewareKey(). The exploit works against default configurations of affected versions (before 12.128.2) with no special feature flag needed, as long as the limited-key mechanism is in use. Limiting factors: the attacker must already authenticate to the API and must obtain or enumerate a valid target key ID, and impact is confined to the Capgo platform's own resources (SC:N) rather than enabling lateral movement into other systems.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, base 8.7) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that needs only a low-privilege authenticated account and no user interaction, with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on the vulnerable system - a credible high priority for any multi-tenant deployment. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no published proof-of-concept in the provided data, so active exploitation is not confirmed; the realistic risk is gated by the need for a valid authenticated account and knowledge of a target tenant's limited-key ID. Subsequent-system impact is None (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), meaning blast radius is data and actions within the Capgo platform rather than a pivot into other systems. Net assessment: a genuine, easily-triggered tenant-isolation break that warrants prompt patching, but absent KEV/POC/EPSS signals it reads as a vendor-disclosed (VulnCheck/GHSA) issue rather than one under demonstrated mass exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers or already holds a low-privilege Capgo account, learns or guesses the limited-key identifier of a victim tenant, and issues normal API requests with the x-limited-key-id header set to that victim key. Because middlewareKey() accepts the header without an ownership check, the requests execute against the victim tenant's resources, letting the attacker read, modify, or push updates across the tenant boundary. No public proof-of-concept is referenced, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and lack of required user interaction make reliable exploitation straightforward once a target key ID is obtained.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 30, 2026

Cross-tenant authorization bypass in Capgo before 12.128.2 lets authenticated users impersonate another tenant's limited API key by supplying its identifier in the client-controlled x-limited-key-id header, which middlewareKey() trusts without checking ownership. Any low-privilege account can therefore read and act on resources belonging to other tenants across multiple API endpoints. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the flaw is trivially reproducible once the key-ID format is known.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade Capgo to 12.128.2 or later, which adds ownership validation in middlewareKey() so that a supplied x-limited-key-id is only honored when it belongs to the authenticated identity; follow the upgrade guidance in GHSA-cppm-733w-hg86 (https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-cppm-733w-hg86). If you cannot upgrade immediately on a self-hosted deployment, the targeted compensating control is to strip or reject the x-limited-key-id header at an upstream proxy/WAF for requests that do not legitimately use limited keys, or to enforce a tenant-scoped allowlist mapping each authenticated identity to its own key IDs before requests reach middlewareKey() - both reduce exposure but can break any legitimate limited-key delegation workflows, so validate against your integration patterns. Rotating limited keys and auditing API logs for cross-tenant x-limited-key-id values is also advisable to detect prior abuse, with the trade-off that key rotation requires re-provisioning downstream consumers.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Capgo is a live/over-the-air (OTA) update service for Capacitor mobile apps, letting developers ship JavaScript bundle updates without app-store review; its backend API is multi-tenant and uses 'limited keys' (scoped API keys) for delegated access. The defect is a CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) issue: the middlewareKey() authentication middleware reads the x-limited-key-id request header and resolves the corresponding limited key without verifying that the key belongs to the calling tenant/identity. Because the key identifier is an Insecure Direct Object Reference fully controlled by the client, the server conflates 'knows a key ID' with 'owns that key', collapsing the tenant isolation boundary that the API otherwise relies on. The single affected component is the Capgo backend (cpe:2.3:a:capgo:capgo), so all consumers of the hosted/self-hosted API before the fixed release are exposed.

DescriptionCVE.org

Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a broken object level authorization vulnerability in middlewareKey() that accepts the client-controlled x-limited-key-id header without validating ownership, allowing authenticated users to adopt cross-tenant limited keys. Attackers can supply another tenant's limited key ID to bypass authorization checks and access unauthorized cross-tenant resources across multiple API endpoints.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Capgo versions before 12.128.2 contain a critical cross-tenant authorization bypass that permits authenticated users to impersonate other tenants' API keys and access or modify their resources. This vulnerability directly threatens data confidentiality and integrity across all multi-tenant Capgo deployments, creating an insider risk where any low-privilege user can exfiltrate or alter other customers' or business units' configurations. Immediate action is required to prevent unauthorized cross-tenant data access.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) restrict API endpoint access via network policies or API gateway authentication; (2) implement alerting on all x-limited-key-id header values that do not belong to the authenticated user's tenant; (3) enforce API key rotation and disable unused limited keys; (4) restrict API key creation permissions to administrative roles only; (5) establish real-time monitoring for anomalous cross-tenant key access patterns and auto-revoke suspicious sessions.
