Last modified

CVE-2026-56254 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. In @capgo/capacitor-updater (Cap-go/capgo) before 12.128.2, the end-to-end encryption scheme distributes the private key to each device that downloads the app. Because the public key can be derived from the private key, an attacker performing a man-in-the-middle attack or compromising the Capgo server can create a validly signed update bundle and cause devices to install an update not produced by the original app maker.. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
