Remote unauthenticated signup endpoint with no user interaction yields PR:N/UI:N/AC:L; account takeover gives C:H/I:H, but no service disruption so A:N.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Cap-go before 12.128.2 contains an authentication logic flaw that lets an attacker register and control an account bound to a victim's email address before that email is verified. By enabling two-factor authentication on the pre-registered account, the attacker gains control over the account claimed under the victim's identity, allowing them to read and modify its state and enforce organization-level policies, while the legitimate user is denied access to the account tied to their own email.
AnalysisAI
Account pre-registration hijack in Capgo before 12.128.2 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker claim an account under a victim's email address before that email is verified, then lock the legitimate owner out by enabling two-factor authentication on the squatted account. The flaw stems from a CWE-640 weak password recovery / account-binding logic issue and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target Capgo instance must be running a version prior to 12.128.2 with self-service email/password registration enabled and the standard 2FA enrollment endpoint reachable from the internet - both are default in stock Capgo deployments and in Capgo Cloud. … 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 with VC:H/VI:H justifies the 9.3 critical rating: exploitation is fully remote, requires no privileges, no user interaction, and no special attack requirements, and yields high confidentiality and integrity impact on the victim's account. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker enumerates target email addresses from a victim organization's public domain, signs up to Capgo with one of those addresses, completes the registration flow without ever opening the verification email, and immediately enrolls TOTP-based 2FA on the squatted account. When the legitimate employee later tries to sign up or log in with their corporate email, they discover the account already exists, 2FA they never set up blocks any recovery attempt, and the attacker silently controls any organization-level policies, app update channels, or release artifacts associated with that identity. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade Capgo to 12.128.2 or later as instructed in GHSA-j4cx-5pw6-5v5j (https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-j4cx-5pw6-5v5j). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
