CVE-2026-56246 Capgo CVE debrief
CVE-2026-56246 is a high-severity vulnerability in Capgo, a platform that enables developers to manage and deploy their applications. The vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 7.2, is caused by a broken access control mechanism in the organization management API. Specifically, a scoped API key limited to a specific organization can still perform destructive operations on another organization if the key's owner has admin privileges in both organizations. This is due to the route-level authorization (rbac_check_permission_direct) that evaluates the key owner's user privileges before enforcing the API key's limited_to_orgs scope.

Who should care
Administrators and users of Capgo, especially those with admin privileges in multiple organizations, should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to mitigate the risk. Additionally, security teams and vulnerability managers responsible for monitoring and patching vulnerabilities in their organizations should prioritize this CVE.
Technical summary
The vulnerability exists in the organization management API of Capgo, where a scoped API key (limited_to_orgs) can inherit its owner-user's permissions, allowing destructive cross-organization actions. When a user is an admin in two organizations and creates a write-mode API key restricted to one organization, that key can still perform destructive operations (e.g., DELETE /organization, DELETE /organization/members) against another organization. The root cause is route-level authorization (rbac_check_permission_direct) that evaluates the key owner's user privileges before enforcing the API key's limited_to_orgs scope.
Defensive priority
High
Recommended defensive actions
- Update Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later
- Review and restrict API key permissions
- Monitor organization management API activity
- Implement additional access controls and logging
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets
- Track exceptions and retest remediated assets
