Remote endpoint (AV:N/AC:L) but a valid session is needed (PR:L, not PR:N); takeover yields high confidentiality and integrity, with lockout as limited availability impact (A:L).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the password change endpoint that allows attackers to change user passwords without requiring current password confirmation. Attackers with temporary session access can exploit this flaw to permanently lock out legitimate users and achieve full account takeover.
AnalysisAI
Account takeover in Capgo before 12.128.2 stems from a password-change endpoint that omits current-password validation (CWE-620), letting an attacker who holds any temporary or low-privilege session set a new password without proving they know the old one. Because the CVSS 4.0 vector reflects a low-privilege (PR:L) network attacker with high confidentiality and integrity impact, a hijacked or briefly-borrowed session can be converted into permanent control, locking legitimate users out. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess a valid low-privilege Capgo session (PR:L) for the target account - described as 'temporary session access' - after which the password-change endpoint accepts a new password without any current-password confirmation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 (High) is driven by AV:N/AC:L/AT:N with VC:H and VI:H, tempered by PR:L - exploitation is remote and low-complexity but requires an existing low-privilege session rather than being fully unauthenticated. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker obtains a temporary Capgo session - for example a session token left active on a shared workstation, captured via network/XSS, or a briefly delegated login - and issues a password-change request that succeeds without supplying the victim's current password. The attacker sets a new password, the legitimate user is locked out, and the attacker retains full control of the account and its associated OTA update capabilities. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 12.128.2 - upgrade Capgo to 12.128.2 or later, as documented in GHSA-rjr5-qxqj-cx8g (https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo/security/advisories/GHSA-rjr5-qxqj-cx8g) and the VulnCheck advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Audit all Capgo deployments to identify versions prior to 12.128.2; review password-change endpoint access controls; implement detailed logging of password-change API requests. …
