PR:L because a valid subkey credential is required; S:U as escalation remains within the Capgo API boundary; no availability impact evident.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a weak parsing vulnerability in the x-limited-key-id header that allows attackers to bypass subkey enforcement by submitting malformed values, zero, or duplicate headers that result in NaN or falsy values. Remote attackers can manipulate the x-limited-key-id header to disable limited key scoping and execute requests using the main API key context instead of restricted subkey permissions.
AnalysisAI
Subkey permission bypass in Capgo before 12.128.2 allows authenticated API users to escalate from restricted subkey scope to full main API key privileges by sending malformed x-limited-key-id header values. The parsing flaw - triggered by submitting zero, NaN-coercible, or duplicate header values - causes the subkey scoping enforcement to evaluate to falsy, silently falling through to the unrestricted main API key context. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires possession of a valid Capgo API subkey credential for the target account. … 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) scores 5.3 Medium. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker possessing a valid but scope-restricted Capgo subkey submits an API request with the x-limited-key-id header set to 0 or a value that coerces to NaN in the server's parsing logic. The falsy evaluation causes the subkey scoping gate to be skipped, and the request is processed under the full main API key's permission set, granting the attacker access to resources and actions that the subkey was explicitly configured to prohibit. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the vendor security advisory GHSA-42vv-8j94-24wj at https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-42vv-8j94-24wj. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
