CVE-2026-56245
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 · uneditedSupabase Capgo before 12.128.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the SECURITY DEFINER record_build_time RPC function that allows unauthenticated attackers to insert arbitrary build-time records. Attackers can exploit this by calling POST /rest/v1/rpc/record_build_time with a public API key to poison billing and quota data for any organization, enabling resource exhaustion and cross-tenant billing manipulation.
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 confidenceThis is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Supabase Capgo's SECURITY DEFINER RPC function 'record_build_time' that allows unauthenticated attackers with only a public API key to insert arbitrary build-time records. The flaw enables poisoning of billing and quota data across organizations, leading to resource exhaustion and cross-tenant billing manipulation.

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.
-
Identify Capgo versionCheck the installed Supabase Capgo version in your deployment. This is typically found in your package.json, dependency lock file, or the Capgo dashboard under account/settings. Compare the version number to the affected range: versions before 12.128.2 are vulnerable.Affected if The installed Capgo version is below 12.128.2
-
Verify record_build_time RPC function existsQuery your Supabase database for the record_build_time function definition. In PostgreSQL, run: SELECT proname, prosrc, prokind FROM pg_proc WHERE proname = 'record_build_time'; Also check its security definer status with: SELECT proname, prosecdef FROM pg_proc WHERE proname = 'record_build_time';Affected if The function exists and was created as SECURITY DEFINER (prosecdef = true) before the patch was applied
-
Confirm function accessibility with public API keyTest whether the record_build_time function can be invoked using only a public (anon) API key without authentication. Make an authenticated request to your Supabase edge function or RPC endpoint using only the public key and observe if the call succeeds.Affected if The function accepts calls with just a public API key and executes without requiring elevated privileges
-
Review access logs for record_build_time callsExamine your Supabase database logs, edge function logs, or API gateway logs for invocations of the record_build_time function. Look for calls originating from unexpected sources, at unusual times, or with anomalous payload sizes that may indicate exploitation.Affected if Logs show record_build_time calls that were not initiated by your own legitimate build processes
You are affected if your Supabase Capgo version is below 12.128.2 AND the record_build_time function is accessible with only a public API key.

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 · scopedUpgrade to Capgo version 12.128.2 or later. Additionally, review and restrict the 'record_build_time' RPC function to enforce proper authentication and authorization checks, ensuring it cannot be called anonymously or with only a public API key.
Supabase Capgo version 12.128.2 or later
- 1. Identify the current installed version of Supabase Capgo in your environment
- 2. Consult the official Supabase Capgo release notes or changelog to obtain version 12.128.2 or a later stable release
- 3. Follow the standard upgrade procedure for Supabase Capgo - typically via your package manager (npm/pnpm) or the Capgo dashboard
- 4. After upgrading, verify the record_build_time RPC function no longer accepts calls with only a public API key without proper organization-level authorization
- 5. Test that authenticated calls to /rest/v1/rpc/record_build_time properly enforce organization-scoped permissions
- 6. Monitor logs for any suspicious build-time record insertions that occurred before the patch
