How to Fix CVE-2026-100628

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-100628, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

capgo.app before 12.128.12 fails to enforce an organization's API key expiration policy when creating app-scoped API keys. In the POST /apikey endpoint, requests that supply app_id but omit org_id, limited_to_orgs, and expires_at resolve the target app and scope the key to it, but never add the app's owner organization to the list of organization IDs passed to validateExpirationAgainstOrgPolicies; because that list is empty, the validation returns early. As a result, an authenticated organization member can create a non-expiring app-scoped API key even when the owning organization has require_apikey_expiration enabled and a max_apikey_expiration_days limit configured. The issue is fixed in version 12.128.12.
