| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires authorized low-privilege access as an app or channel manager within the Capgo project (PR:L) - this is not remotely exploitable by an anonymous outsider. The concrete prerequisite is the ability to create or mark multiple public channels for the same app and platform, combined with the presence of clients that send unnamed /updates requests (i.e. without an explicit defaultChannel). What limits exploitation: an attacker must already hold channel-management privileges, clients that always specify their channel are unaffected, and only deployments running Capgo before 12.128.2 are vulnerable. No end-user interaction is needed (UI:N). |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N) scoring 7.1 cleanly matches the description: network-reachable, low complexity, requires low privileges (an authorized app/channel manager), and yields a pure integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss. This is a trust-boundary/insider-abuse issue rather than an externally weaponizable RCE - exploitation is gated behind legitimate management access to the Capgo project, which substantially narrows the real-world threat population. No EPSS score was provided, KEV status is negative, and no POC is referenced, so all signals point to a genuine but bounded integrity risk rather than an internet-wide emergency. The tag 'Information Disclosure' conflicts with the CVSS vector, which sets VC:N (no confidentiality impact) and VI:H (integrity only) - the tag appears mislabeled; treat this as an integrity/routing-manipulation issue, not data disclosure. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user with channel-manager rights on a Capgo project creates a second public channel for the same app and platform pointing at a bundle of their choosing. Clients that poll /updates without naming a channel are silently resolved to the attacker's hidden 'winner' channel and download the substituted bundle. No public POC is identified, and the action requires legitimate low-privilege management access (PR:L). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 30, 2026
Release-routing integrity failure in Capgo before 12.128.2 lets an authorized app or channel manager covertly steer which update bundle unnamed clients receive. Because the platform permits multiple public channels per app/platform to coexist and silently resolves channel-less /updates requests to a single hidden 'winner' channel, a low-privileged insider can manipulate default update state and serve a chosen bundle to clients that did not specify a channel. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Capgo 12.128.2 or later, which corrects the release-routing logic so default/public channel resolution is unambiguous. As compensating controls until upgrade, avoid configuring more than one public/default channel per app and platform combination, and require clients to specify an explicit defaultChannel on /updates requests so routing no longer depends on the implicit hidden-winner selection - the trade-off is that every client build and update call must be audited to pin its channel, which adds configuration overhead. Additionally, tighten the set of accounts holding app/channel-manager privileges and audit channel-configuration changes, since the vulnerability is abusable only by such authorized roles. Reference the vendor advisory GHSA-3cmp-pm5x-8464 (https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-3cmp-pm5x-8464) for full details.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Capgo is a live (over-the-air) update service for Capacitor-based mobile apps, distributing JavaScript/asset bundles to deployed apps through named 'channels' (e.g. production, beta). Clients poll an /updates endpoint to learn which bundle to download. The flaw is rooted in CWE-670 (Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation): the routing logic allows several channels to be marked public/default for the same app and platform at once, and when a client requests updates without specifying a defaultChannel, the backend deterministically but opaquely picks one channel as the implicit winner. The affected component is the Capgo backend release-routing logic, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:capgo:capgo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with all versions prior to 12.128.2 affected.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Capgo before 12.128.2 allows multiple public channels for the same app and platform to coexist simultaneously, while unnamed /updates requests without defaultChannel implicitly resolve to a single hidden winner channel. An authorized app or channel manager can create ambiguous default update state and silently influence which bundle unnamed clients receive, breaking release routing integrity and predictability.
Executive ViewAI
Capgo mobile update platform (versions before 12.128.2) contains a release routing integrity flaw allowing authorized channel managers to covertly redirect app updates to unintended client versions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. This creates supply chain integrity risk for organizations using Capgo for managed app distribution, potentially enabling unauthorized software versions to reach end users.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict channel manager role to minimum required users; (2) Require multi-person approval for routing configuration changes; (3) Enable comprehensive audit logging and monitoring of all channel modifications; (4) Implement file integrity monitoring on update bundle and routing configurations; (5) Enforce separation of duties between app deployment and channel management functions.
