capacitor-updater - End-to-End Encryption Bypass via Private Key Distribution

Published Jul 10, 2026 · Updated Oct 8, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

In @capgo/capacitor-updater (Cap-go/capgo) before 12.128.2, the end-to-end encryption scheme distributes the private key to each device that downloads the app. Because the public key can be derived from the private key, an attacker performing a man-in-the-middle attack or compromising the Capgo server can create a validly signed update bundle and cause devices to install an update not produced by the original app maker.
