AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately upgrade all cal.com deployments to version 6.0.7 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. Until upgrades are completed, implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to cal.com instances only to trusted internal networks or VPN users. Conduct thorough audits of user account activity and session management logs to detect any unauthorized access attempts. Disable or restrict the use of session.update() functionality if possible, or apply custom server-side validation to ensure email addresses cannot be arbitrarily set by clients. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all user accounts to reduce the impact of compromised credentials. Monitor threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploit attempts targeting this vulnerability. Finally, review and enhance authorization logic in custom integrations with cal.com to prevent similar client-side enforcement issues.
Description
CVE-2026-23478 is a critical vulnerability in cal.com versions from 3.1.6 up to before 6.0.7, where a flaw in a custom NextAuth JWT callback allows attackers to gain full authenticated access to any user's account by supplying a target email address via session.update(). This vulnerability arises from client-side enforcement of server-side security controls, violating proper authorization checks. It has a CVSS 4.0 score of 10.
