What is CVE-2026-56225?
CVE-2026-56225 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Capgo, published on 23 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its public API key management handlers (get/put/delete/post). API keys created with mode=all but restricted to a single app via limited_to_apps are only checked for limited_to_orgs and not for limited_to_apps, so an app-scoped key can enumerate, update, and delete sibling API keys belonging to the same account that are outside its declared app scope, enabling tampering with account-level credentials.
Weakness: CWE-269
