Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Cap-go before 12.128.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in OTP verification that allows attackers to bypass email verification by modifying server responses. Attackers can intercept OTP verification requests and manipulate HTTP responses to falsely mark verification successful, enabling unauthorized 2FA enablement and account takeover.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Capgo prior to version 12.128.2 lets attackers defeat email-based OTP verification by tampering with HTTP responses returned to the client, which the application trusts to decide whether verification succeeded. Successful exploitation enables fraudulent 2FA enrollment and account takeover, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis though VulnCheck has published an advisory describing the response-manipulation technique.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to be able to observe and modify the HTTP response returned by Capgo's email-OTP verification endpoint to their own client - practical via a local intercepting proxy on the attacker's machine, a modified app build, or a MitM position on the network path - and an account-registration flow in which the attacker can submit an arbitrary OTP value against an email address they wish to claim. … 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:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L scores 9.3 and characterises this as a low-complexity, unauthenticated, network-reachable flaw with high confidentiality and integrity impact, which is consistent with an account-takeover primitive against the auth layer. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers an account in a Capgo instance using a target's email address, then submits any value to the email-OTP verification endpoint while routing their client through an intercepting proxy such as Burp or mitmproxy. They modify the server's HTTP response to indicate verification success, causing the client and downstream flows to treat the email as verified, after which the attacker enables 2FA on the captured identity and locks the legitimate owner out - feasible with publicly documented technique per the VulnCheck advisory, even though no weaponised exploit has been identified at time of analysis. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to vendor-released patch Capgo 12.128.2 or later, which addresses the OTP verification flow as documented in GHSA-x2gq-85v8-j9v4 (https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-x2gq-85v8-j9v4). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
