Official Description
Capgo CLI before 12.128.2 contains arbitrary file overwrite vulnerabilities in login and build credentials operations that follow symlinks without validation. Attackers can create malicious symlinks in repositories to overwrite arbitrary files or expose credentials with world-readable permissions when developers run the CLI.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-56236 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 6.1.
