AI-suggested
Immediate patching to cal.com version 5.9.8 or later is the primary and most effective mitigation step. Organizations should audit their current cal.com deployments to identify affected versions and prioritize upgrades. Beyond patching, reviewing and strengthening authentication mechanisms is advised, including enforcing multi-factor authentication policies that do not rely solely on TOTP codes without password verification. Monitoring authentication logs for unusual patterns, such as successful logins with atypical credential combinations, can help detect exploitation attempts. Implementing network segmentation and limiting access to scheduling systems can reduce exposure. Additionally, organizations should educate users about potential phishing attempts that might leverage this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans are updated to address potential account compromises. For environments where immediate patching is not feasible, temporary mitigations could include disabling TOTP-based logins or restricting access to trusted IP ranges until the patch is applied.
Description
Cal.com is open-source scheduling software. Prior to 5.9.8, A flaw in the login credentials provider allows an attacker to bypass password verification when a TOTP code is provided, potentially gaining unauthorized access to user accounts. This issue exists due to problematic conditional logic in the authentication flow. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.8.
