Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the POST /app/demo endpoint that allows authenticated users with org write permissions to create unlimited demo applications without rate limiting or quota enforcement. Attackers can repeatedly invoke this endpoint to generate approximately 138 database write operations per request, causing degraded performance, increased costs, and potential service instability.
CVE-2026-56255
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 81% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
