CVE-2026-75524: OpenReception appointment booking race condition in event creation

CVE-2026-75524 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-10-23

OpenReception's appointment booking platform allows customers to schedule appointments with agents in secure time slots. An attacker can exploit a race condition to overbooking an agent by placing multiple concurrent requests, allowing several appointments to be inserted into a single time slot that should remain exclusive. This breaks the calendar's integrity and prevents legitimate customers from booking available time slots.

Technical details

A race condition exists in the event creation logic prior to version 2.2.2, where the booking token is consumed after the database insert rather than before, allowing multiple concurrent requests with the same token to create overlapping appointments. The vulnerability requires network access to the booking API and can be exploited by sending concurrent requests to the same time slot. An attacker gains the ability to disrupt service availability by creating conflicting bookings.
