Description
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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the POST /app/demo endpoint of Capgo. Authenticated users who possess organization write permissions can create an unlimited number of demo applications because the system lacks rate limiting or quota enforcement. Each request triggers roughly 138 database write operations, which can strain the database, degrade overall performance, increase operational costs, and eventually cause service instability.

Affected Systems

Capgo’s Capgo product is affected. Versions earlier than 12.128.2 contain the flaw, while 12.128.2 and later contain the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 represents a medium severity threat. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers need to be authenticated and have organization‑write permissions to exploit it; they can repeatedly invoke the unprotected endpoint to trigger repeated bursts of database writes, leading to a denial of service condition. The risk is moderate, but impact can be significant if the system cannot absorb the load.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Capgo to version 12.128.2 or later to apply the vendor‑supplied fix that limits demo app creation.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, temporarily disable the POST /app/demo endpoint for all non‑administrative users or use an access‑control list to allow only selected accounts.
  • Implement rate limiting or quota controls on the endpoint and monitor database write activity to prevent resource exhaustion.
