Technical details

Cal.com (cal.diy) versions prior to 5.9.9 are vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) due to an upstream vulnerability in Next.js (CVE-2025-55182). The flaw exists in the React Server Components (RSC) request handling, where the server deserializes attacker-controlled input from the React flight protocol. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted RSC request to trigger the execution of arbitrary code during server-side processing. The vulnerability is rooted in the 'react-server-dom-webpack' (and related) packages used by Next.js App Router. The issue is resolved in Cal.com 5.9.9 by updating the Next.js dependency to a patched version (e.g., 15.5.7 or 15.4.8).
