CVE-2026-56240 Capgo CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations using Capgo, especially those with exhausted or expired usage credit grants, should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it. This includes verifying the affected scope and severity with the vendor, reviewing compensating controls, and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Technical summary

The vulnerability is caused by a billing authorization bypass in the plan_valid calculation in Capgo before version 12.128.12. This allows organizations with exhausted or expired usage credit grants to bypass billing gates and gain continued access to certain endpoints, including /updates, /stats, /channel_self, and attachment upload endpoints. The divergence between the plugin hot-path plan_valid expression and the authoritative billing gate enables this bypass.
