CVE-2026-88860

Capgo, a platform for over-the-air updates, has a flaw that lets users keep channel permissions even after their main organization role is removed. This can let attackers perform actions they should no longer be able to, such as changing production firmware. The issue is critical because it bypasses normal access controls.
