CVE-2026-56080: Improper Authentication in Cap-go capgo
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a flaw in the Enforce Password Policy feature: after a Super Admin enables the policy and successfully changes their password to a compliant one, the backend does not update the password-compliance state. As a result, the backend continues to treat the account as non-compliant and repeatedly forces password-reset prompts, permanently locking the Super Admin out of organization access (organization lockout / denial of service) despite valid authentication.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Capgo versions prior to 12.128.2 contain an authentication-related flaw in the Enforce Password Policy feature. When a Super Admin enables this policy and updates their password to meet compliance requirements, the backend does not update the password-compliance state. Consequently, the backend continues to treat the Super Admin account as non-compliant, forcing repeated password-reset prompts. This results in a denial of service condition by permanently locking the Super Admin out of organization access despite valid credentials.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability causes a denial of service for Super Admin users by locking them out of organization access. Although authentication succeeds, the system's failure to update the password-compliance state triggers continuous password reset prompts, preventing administrative access and potentially disrupting organizational operations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, organizations should be cautious when enabling the Enforce Password Policy feature for Super Admin accounts. Monitoring vendor communications for an official fix or workaround is recommended.
