The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The accept_invitation endpoint must be reachable over the network, which is standard for any deployed Capgo instance. No authentication is required. The attacker must possess or be able to obtain a valid invite token - either by receiving a legitimate invitation, discovering a token through other means, or targeting a system with guessable token formats. Exploitation is limited to the invitation workflow: attackers cannot access existing user data, modify application configurations, or escalate within the platform. Capgo instances that do not use the invitation system or have no pending invite links are not meaningfully impacted. User interaction is not required on the victim's part.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 accurately characterizes a medium-severity, remotely exploitable flaw with no authentication barrier and low attack complexity, but with impact constrained to low integrity and low availability (VI:L/VA:L) - no confidentiality exposure exists. There is no EPSS data provided in the available intelligence, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at the time of analysis. The attack is trivially automatable given PR:N/AC:L/UI:N, which raises SSVC automatable signal, but the blast radius is bounded entirely to the invitation workflow. This is a genuine nuisance-to-moderate risk rather than a critical incident: an attacker can burn an organization's invite quota and create ghost accounts, but cannot read existing user data, execute code, or escalate privileges. The real-world priority should be calibrated to whether the affected Capgo deployment actively uses the invitation workflow.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker discovers or is forwarded a valid Capgo invite link for a target organization. They script automated POST requests to the accept_invitation endpoint using the invite token but with arbitrary invalid captcha values. Because the account creation logic runs before captcha enforcement, each request results in a new account being committed and the invite link consumed, exhausting the organization's pending invitations and blocking legitimate users from onboarding.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 10, 2026

Capgo's accept_invitation endpoint creates user accounts before captcha validation is enforced, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass captcha entirely by submitting POST requests with invalid captcha tokens. This logic-ordering flaw enables automated account creation and exhaustion of invite links against any Capgo instance running versions prior to 12.128.2. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later, which corrects the execution order of captcha validation to occur before account creation in the accept_invitation endpoint, as documented in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-whc5-fvr7-g5v3. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, apply rate limiting on the accept_invitation endpoint to constrain automated abuse - note this does not remediate the root validation flaw but reduces the attacker's throughput for burning invite links. Additionally, consider invalidating and regenerating all pending invite tokens after patching, since previously issued tokens may have been partially enumerated or abused. Restricting the endpoint to known IP ranges where invitees are expected to originate provides a further compensating control with the trade-off of blocking legitimate remote users.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Capgo is an open-source live update platform for Capacitor-based mobile applications, providing over-the-air update delivery infrastructure. The vulnerability is a logic sequencing flaw in the accept_invitation endpoint where the account provisioning step executes before the captcha verification step completes - a direct manifestation of CWE-287 (Improper Authentication). Because the captcha check is a post-creation gate rather than a pre-creation gate, supplying any invalid token still results in a committed account record. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:capgo:capgo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms all versions prior to 12.128.2 are affected. The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms the endpoint is reachable without authentication over the network.
