CVE-2026-56280: Missing Authorization in Cap-go capgo

Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Cap-go
Product: capgo

Description

Cap-go before 12.128.2 contains a privilege inversion vulnerability in GET /build/logs/:jobId that allows read-only API key holders to cancel running native builds. The endpoint registers an abort listener on the SSE stream that unconditionally invokes cancelBuildOnDisconnect() using the privileged server-side BUILDER_API_KEY when clients disconnect, bypassing the app.build_native permission check required by the explicit POST /build/cancel/:jobId endpoint. Attackers with read-only API keys can repeatedly disrupt native build operations and CI/CD workflows by opening the log stream and dropping the connection.

Technical Analysis

The vulnerability in Cap-go before version 12.128.2 involves the GET /build/logs/:jobId endpoint registering an abort listener on the server-sent events (SSE) stream. When a client disconnects, this listener unconditionally calls cancelBuildOnDisconnect() using the privileged BUILDER_API_KEY, bypassing the app.build_native permission check required by the explicit POST /build/cancel/:jobId endpoint. Consequently, attackers holding only read-only API keys can cancel running native builds, causing repeated disruptions in build operations and CI/CD pipelines.

Potential Impact

Attackers with read-only API keys can cancel running native builds, which disrupts build operations and continuous integration/continuous deployment workflows. This privilege inversion allows unauthorized cancellation of builds, potentially causing denial of service or workflow interruptions in development environments.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict issuance of read-only API keys to trusted users and monitor usage patterns for suspicious activity related to build cancellations. Avoid exposing the GET /build/logs/:jobId endpoint to untrusted clients if possible.
