CVE-2026-56295
MEDIUM 5.3 PoC AVAILABLECapgo 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.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
