Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 10 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Users should monitor vendor advisories for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict API key permissions to the minimum necessary and avoid exposing bundle write/upload keys to untrusted parties. Review and audit usage of such keys to detect potential misuse.

Description

Capgo (capgo.app) contains an incomplete access-control/content-lock enforcement issue affecting all versions; no patch is available at the time of publication. The `enforce_encrypted_bundle_trigger` / `check_encrypted_bundle_on_insert` content lock in supabase/schemas/prod.sql exempts `app_versions` rows whose previous `storage_provider` is `r2-direct`, so delivery-critical columns (name, app_id, session_key, key_id, storage_provider, r2_path, external_url, checksum, manifest, native_packages) remain mutable while a row is in that state. Separately, the channel/version join used by the `/updates` endpoint (supabase/functions/_backend/utils/pg.ts) filters only deleted versions and does not exclude `r2-direct` versions, so such rows remain OTA-selectable. An attacker holding a Capgo API key with bundle write/upload permission can create or keep a bundle version in the `r2-direct` state, assign it to a channel, and then modify these fields via direct PostgREST requests, causing altered bundle metadata (for example checksum and session_key) to be served to devices through `/updates`. This bypasses the post-upload content immutability hardening added for a previous app_versions metadata-tampering issue.

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker with limited privileges (bundle write/upload API key) to modify delivery-critical metadata of app bundles after upload, potentially causing devices to receive altered or tampered bundle information. This undermines the integrity guarantees of the update delivery process but does not require elevated privileges beyond the API key with upload rights. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Summary

CVE-2026-100621 describes an incomplete access-control enforcement in Capgo's capgo.app affecting all versions. The vulnerability arises because the content lock enforcement exempts app_versions rows with a previous storage_provider of 'r2-direct', leaving critical columns mutable. Additionally, the /updates endpoint's channel/version join does not exclude 'r2-direct' versions, allowing these mutable versions to be selected over-the-air. An attacker with bundle write/upload API permissions can create or maintain a bundle in the 'r2-direct' state, assign it to a channel, and modify metadata fields such as checksum and session_key via direct PostgREST requests, circumventing prior immutability hardening.
