CVE-2026-56235
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCap-go capgo before 12.128.2 contains an authorization bypass in several Supabase PostgREST RPC functions (get_app_metrics, get_global_metrics, get_total_metrics) that are granted to the anon role without enforcing org membership or permission checks. An unauthenticated attacker using only the public Supabase API key (sb_publishable_*) can query arbitrary org_id values to disclose cross-tenant usage telemetry (MAU, bandwidth, installs, gets), enumerate app IDs for a target org, and determine org existence via an oracle (valid org returns metrics, invalid returns []).
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCap-go before 12.128.2 has an authorization bypass where Supabase PostgREST RPC functions (get_app_metrics, get_global_metrics, get_total_metrics) are exposed to the public anon role without org membership or permission verification. Using only the public API key (sb_publishable_*), an unauthenticated attacker can query arbitrary org_id values to extract cross-tenant telemetry (MAU, bandwidth, installs, gets), enumerate app IDs, and use an oracle to confirm org existence (valid org returns metrics, invalid returns []). This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) combined with broken access control.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Cap-go versionInspect package.json, package-lock.json, or run 'npm list cap-go' or equivalent package manager command to retrieve the installed Cap-go versionAffected if The installed version is lower than 12.128.2 (e.g., 12.128.1, 12.127.x, etc.)
-
Verify Supabase integration existsCheck for Supabase configuration in environment variables or config files. Look for environment variables starting with 'NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_' or 'SUPABASE_' and confirm a public key beginning with 'sb_publishable_' is presentAffected if Supabase is configured with a sb_publishable_* public key, enabling unauthenticated API access
-
Inspect RPC function permissions in databaseConnect to the Cap-go PostgreSQL database and query function permissions: SELECT proname, pronamespace::regnamespace FROM pg_proc WHERE proname IN ('get_app_metrics', 'get_global_metrics', 'get_total_metrics'); Then check: SELECT procacl FROM pg_proc WHERE proname IN ('get_app_metrics', 'get_global_metrics', 'get_total_metrics');Affected if The 'anon' role or public role appears in the function ACL with EXECUTE permission on any of these three functions
-
Test unauthenticated function accessUsing the public sb_publishable_* key, make an HTTP POST request to the Supabase REST endpoint '/rest/v1/rpc/function_name' with a JSON body containing an arbitrary org_id value (e.g., {"org_id": "some-org-uuid"})Affected if The request returns valid JSON metrics data (containing fields like mau, bandwidth, installs, or gets) instead of an authorization error or empty array for arbitrary org_id values
You are affected if Cap-go version is below 12.128.2 AND Supabase is connected with a public API key AND the anon role has execute permission on get_app_metrics, get_global_metrics, or get_total_metrics, allowing unauthenticated users to query arbitrary org_ids and retrieve cross-tenant telemetry.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedImplement authorization checks in the affected RPC functions to enforce org membership and permission validation before returning data, or remove these functions from the anon role and require authenticated session context.
capgo version 12.128.2 or later
- 1. Identify the current installed version of Cap-go in your environment using your package manager or project dependencies
- 2. If the current version is before 12.128.2, upgrade to version 12.128.2 or later
- 3. After upgrading, verify that the PostgREST RPC functions (get_app_metrics, get_global_metrics, get_total_metrics) now properly enforce org membership and permission checks
- 4. Confirm that the anon role no longer has unrestricted access to cross-tenant metrics data
