Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a broken access control vulnerability in the organization management API where a scoped API key (limited_to_orgs) inherits its owner-user's permissions, allowing destructive cross-organization actions. When a user is an admin in two organizations and creates a write-mode API key restricted to one organization, that key can still perform destructive operations (e.g., DELETE /organization, DELETE /organization/members) against another organization. The root cause is route-level authorization (rbac_check_permission_direct) that evaluates the key owner's user privileges before enforcing the API key's limited_to_orgs scope.

Better Auth is an authentication and authorization library for TypeScript. From 1.6.0 until 1.6.11, the deviceAuthorization plugin treats any authenticated session as the owner of any pending device code because GET /device does not claim the row and POST /device/approve and POST /device/deny short-circuit when userId is unset, allowing an authenticated attacker who learns a valid user_code to bind the polling device to the attacker's account or deny the legitimate flow. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.11.
- CVE-2026-56231HIGH 7.6
Capgo before 12.128.2 contains a broken object level authorization (BOLA) vulnerability in the POST /build/start/:jobId and POST /build/cancel/:jobId endpoints. The handlers authorize the request based only on the attacker-controlled app_id supplied in the request body and never verify that the jobId in the URL belongs to that app_id (or the same tenant/org) before issuing privileged builder commands with the server-held builder API key. An authenticated user with the app.build_native permission for any app they control can start or cancel arbitrary builder jobs belonging to other tenants by supplying a victim jobId, resulting in cross-tenant build sabotage (denial of service), unauthorized compute actions, and potential billing impact.
- CVE-2026-49997MED 5.4
SurrealDB is a scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database for the realtime web. Prior to 3.1.0, Document::purge_edges in surrealdb/core/src/doc/delete.rs automatically removed graph edge records with permissions disabled through opt.clone().with_perms(false) when a connected node was deleted, bypassing the edge table's PERMISSIONS FOR delete and PERMISSIONS FOR select clauses. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.0.
- CVE-2026-56310MED 4.3
Cap-go before 12.128.2 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the GET /organization/members endpoint that allows org-limited API keys to bypass limited_to_orgs restrictions. Attackers with org-limited API keys can read membership data including uid, email, image_url, role, and is_tmp from organizations outside their assigned scope.
