Unauthenticated code execution via prototype traversal
Published Jul 23, 2026 · Updated Jul 23, 2026
Code injection in Cal.com Cal.diy before 5.9.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through crafted RSC requests. The bundled Next.js React Flight decoder follows attacker-supplied object paths without an own-property check, allowing prototype-chain access to the Function constructor during deserialization. Network access to a self-hosted instance is sufficient; neither authentication nor user interaction is required, and code runs in the server process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
