Official Description
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a security control bypass vulnerability where the PostgREST/RLS plane accepts plaintext API keys through the capgkey header despite enforce_hashed_api_keys being enabled. Attackers can bypass org-level hashed-key enforcement by sending plaintext API keys directly to the PostgREST/RLS plane to access protected resources.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-56243 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 8.1.
