Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid Capgo account (low-privilege authentication, reflected in PR:L in the CVSS vector) and network access to the Capgo platform. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) scores this at 5.3 (Medium), reflecting real but limited impact: network exploitable at low complexity with low-privilege access, yielding only partial confidentiality loss. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated Capgo platform user navigates to a competitor's or target organization's app listing on the platform, downloads the app information image uploaded by that organization, and runs a standard EXIF tool (e.g., exiftool) against the image file. If the image was captured on a smartphone with location services enabled, the tool outputs exact GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken, potentially revealing a private office, home address, or sensitive facility. …
Remediation Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later, which implements EXIF stripping on image uploads via the app information endpoint. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
