Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must possess the public Supabase anon key for the target Capgo instance. This key is embedded in all distributed Capgo client apps and is not considered a secret by Supabase's design - any user who downloads the app, intercepts network traffic, or decompiles the binary can retrieve it. The target must be running Capgo prior to version 12.128.2. No authentication beyond this public key is required, no specific server-side configuration is needed, and no user interaction is involved. Exploitation is constrained to credential validation responses - the endpoint does not directly return passwords or tokens, so account takeover requires the attacker to separately obtain usernames (e.g., from public data or prior breaches) and iterate password candidates. Network access to the Supabase project URL is the only infrastructure requirement.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this is remotely exploitable, requires no authentication, and has no attack complexity or special conditions - consistent with the description, since the public Supabase anon key is embedded in every shipped app. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects only limited direct confidentiality impact (VC:L), as the endpoint validates rather than directly discloses secrets. However, this score understates practical risk: successful credential stuffing enables full account takeover of Capgo accounts, which control mobile app update distribution and could be leveraged to push malicious updates to end users. No EPSS data or CISA KEV listing was provided, so statistical exploitation probability is unknown. The attack is trivially automatable (no rate limit, no lockout, public key suffices), meaning the realistic threat level exceeds what the CVSS score alone conveys. No conflicting signals were found between the CVSS vector and the textual description - both align on a no-authentication, network-exploitable flaw.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker decompiles or proxies a Capgo-connected mobile app to extract the public Supabase anon key from its configuration. They then run an automated credential stuffing tool - such as a simple Python script using a list of breached email/password combos - sending POST requests to /functions/v1/private/validate_password_compliance at an unrestricted rate. Successful matches identify valid Capgo account credentials, which the attacker then uses to log in and potentially manipulate live update bundles delivered to end users.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 23, 2026

Unauthenticated access to Capgo's credential validation endpoint before version 12.128.2 enables large-scale password spraying and credential stuffing attacks against user accounts. The POST /functions/v1/private/validate_password_compliance Supabase Edge Function accepts requests using only the publicly distributed anon key - a client-side secret embedded in shipped app binaries - with no rate limiting or lockout enforcement. Combined with wildcard CORS headers, any browser-side or scripted attacker can systematically validate username/password pairs at scale, ultimately compromising Capgo accounts and potentially tampering with mobile app live update pipelines. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack is trivially automatable given the absence of access controls.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later as documented in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-f6v3-xv4g-79h5. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network-level access to the /functions/v1/private/validate_password_compliance endpoint using Supabase Edge Function access policies or an upstream API gateway - this may impact legitimate password compliance validation flows and should be tested before deployment. As a compensating control, enforce IP-based rate limiting at the Supabase project or reverse-proxy layer to throttle repeated calls to the endpoint; note this does not fix the authentication bypass but meaningfully raises the cost of spraying at scale. Long-term, the endpoint should require a service-role JWT rather than the public anon key, aligning its access model with its /private/ path intent.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Capgo is a live update delivery platform for Capacitor-based mobile applications, built on Supabase serverless Edge Functions. The affected endpoint /functions/v1/private/validate_password_compliance is a Supabase Edge Function that despite its /private/ path prefix accepts the public Supabase anon key as its sole credential - a key that is by design distributed to all app clients and considered non-secret. CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts) describes the root cause: the endpoint performs authentication-adjacent work (credential validation) without any rate limiting, IP throttling, CAPTCHA, or account lockout mechanism, making it an oracle for mass credential enumeration. The wildcard CORS policy (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) further enables browser-based cross-site exploitation. Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:capgo:capgo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* for all versions prior to 12.128.2.

DescriptionCVE.org

Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a credential validation vulnerability in the POST /functions/v1/private/validate_password_compliance endpoint that is callable using only the public Supabase key without authentication. The endpoint is CORS-permissive with wildcard origin allowance and lacks rate limiting, enabling attackers to perform password spraying and credential stuffing attacks to compromise user accounts.
