| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) accurately reflects the constrained but real-world relevant threat profile: network-accessible (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but user interaction is mandatory (UI:A). There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact on the vulnerable Capgo system itself (VC:N, VA:N); the integrity impact is limited to the redirect manipulation (VI:L). No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically. KEV status is absent and no public exploit code has been identified, meaning this is not a confirmed in-the-wild exploitation scenario. Despite the modest CVSS score, open redirect vulnerabilities in authentication and registration flows carry disproportionate real-world risk: they allow attackers to abuse the trust signals of a legitimate sending domain and a legitimate-looking URL path, which substantially increases phishing success rates compared to raw cold-phishing. The primary risk is to end users of applications built on Capgo, not to the Capgo infrastructure itself. Self-hosted deployments with slower patch cycles face the highest residual exposure. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 22, 2026
Open redirect in Capgo's confirm-signup endpoint (all versions before 12.128.2) enables unauthenticated remote attackers to craft account confirmation links that silently redirect victims to arbitrary attacker-controlled websites. The unvalidated confirmation_url parameter in the confirm-signup flow accepts any external URL without domain allowlisting or sanitization, making legitimate Capgo-sending domains a trusted launchpad for phishing and credential harvesting. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, but the social engineering amplification risk is significant given the trusted-email-domain context.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later, which is the vendor-released patch resolving the unvalidated redirect. The fix details are documented in the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-24q8-ghqq-m8cj and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/capgo-open-redirect-via-confirmation-url-parameter. For operators who cannot patch immediately, configure a reverse proxy or WAF rule to reject any confirm-signup requests where the confirmation_url parameter value does not match your application's registered domain - note this workaround may break legitimate cross-domain redirect flows if any exist in your deployment. As a secondary control, notify users to verify that confirmation link destinations match your application's domain before clicking; this is low-friction user guidance that reduces phishing success even before patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Capgo is an open-source live update and backend platform for Capacitor mobile applications. The vulnerability resides in the confirm-signup endpoint, which is responsible for handling email address verification flows after user registration. Per CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site / Open Redirect), the root cause is the complete absence of server-side validation or allowlisting on the confirmation_url parameter - the application forwards the user-supplied value directly without checking it against a whitelist of legitimate application domains. This transforms the confirmation email flow into an attacker-controllable redirect primitive. CPE data cpe:2.3:a:capgo:capgo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the scope spans all Capgo releases across the entire version lineage prior to 12.128.2, affecting both self-hosted and any cloud-managed Capgo deployments on vulnerable versions.
