CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-56255 — Capgo security vulnerability
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.

Matched remediation archetype
Resource exhaustion and denial of service
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
- Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
- Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.
Remediate safely
- Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
- Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
- Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
