CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the @capgo/capacitor-updater library prior to version 12.128.2, where the end-to-end encryption scheme improperly distributes the private key to devices, allowing an attacker to derive the public key. This flaw enables man-in-the-middle attacks or server compromises, potentially leading to unauthorized updates being installed on devices. Organizations utilizing this library should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of malicious updates and protect their applications.

Original NVD 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.
