CVE-2026-56295
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 · uneditedCapgo before 12.128.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in webhook management endpoints that allows non-expiring API keys to bypass the require_apikey_expiration organization policy. The checkWebhookPermission function fails to call apikeyHasOrgRightWithPolicy, enabling attackers with legacy non-expiring keys to list, create, and delete webhooks despite explicit organizational policy requiring key expiration.
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.

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 installed Capgo versionQuery the Capgo instance for its current version number (typically via admin panel, API endpoint, or package metadata file in the installation directory)Affected if version is lower than 12.128.2 (e.g., 12.128.1, 12.127.x, or any version before 12.128.2)
-
List existing API keysAccess the organization API key management interface or query the internal keys table to retrieve all registered API keys and their expiration settingsAffected if any API key has no expiration date set (null, empty, or a far-future date indicating legacy non-expiring behavior)
-
Verify require_apikey_expiration policy statusCheck the organization security or policy configuration for the require_apikey_expiration setting (typically found in organization settings, security policies, or via API)Affected if the policy is explicitly enabled or set to require key expiration
-
Examine webhook permission enforcementAttempt to create, list, or delete a webhook using a non-expiring API key while the require_apikey_expiration policy is active, or review API access logs for webhook operations performed by keys without expirationAffected if non-expiring keys successfully perform webhook operations despite the expiration policy being enforced
You are affected if your Capgo version is below 12.128.2 AND you have non-expiring API keys in use while the require_apikey_expiration policy is enabled, as these keys can bypass webhook permission controls.

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 12.128.2 or later to obtain the patch, and rotate any compromised non-expiring API keys to prevent continued abuse.
Capgo version 12.128.2 or later
- Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later to resolve the authorization bypass in webhook management endpoints
- After upgrading, verify that the checkWebhookPermission function now properly calls apikeyHasOrgRightWithPolicy
- Confirm that the require_apikey_expiration organization policy is now enforced for all API keys, including previously non-expiring legacy keys
- Test that webhook listing, creation, and deletion operations are properly restricted according to the organization's API key expiration policy
