Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must hold an active authenticated session as any backend user role - admin, provider, or secretary - in the target Easy!Appointments installation; anonymous access is insufficient. The target installation must have the Google Calendar synchronization feature enabled and configured, since the vulnerable code path is only reachable when Google sync is active. The attacker supplies a different user's numeric provider_id as a URL parameter to the OAuth initiation endpoint, then completes the Google OAuth consent flow using their own Google account. Exploitation is bounded by: (1) a requirement for a valid backend account (PR:L at minimum), (2) the need to know or enumerate the victim's numeric provider_id (likely low-entropy sequential integers), and (3) a deployment where Google Calendar sync is enabled. No elevated privileges such as admin rights are required - the flaw is exploitable by the lowest-privilege backend roles. No network positioning or man-in-the-middle capability is needed.

Impact

The official CVSS 3.1 score of 3.1 (Low) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N understates realistic exploitation difficulty in one direction and overstates it in another. The PR:H (High Privileges) assignment conflicts directly with the CVE description, which names secretary and provider roles as viable attackers - these are authenticated but low-privilege backend roles, making PR:L more accurate. The UI:R assignment is ambiguous: the attacker themselves must complete a Google OAuth consent flow, which is the attacker's own action rather than a victim's; UI:N is arguably more precise. AC:H is the most defensible of the disputed metrics, as the attacker must know or enumerate a peer's numeric provider_id. No EPSS data was provided; no CISA KEV listing exists; and no public POC has been identified at time of analysis. Despite the low numeric score, the real-world impact within a multi-user deployment is meaningful: a rogue or compromised backend account silently redirects a colleague's entire appointment feed - including customer PII - to an external calendar with no visible indication to the victim. Defenders should treat the data-exposure outcome as the priority signal rather than the numeric CVSS score, particularly in deployments with multiple backend users.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A secretary or provider account in a multi-user Easy!Appointments instance navigates to the Google OAuth initiation URL, substituting a peer provider's numeric ID (for example, provider_id=5) in place of their own. After clicking through the standard Google OAuth consent page with their own personal Google account, the application writes the resulting token to the victim's database row. From that point forward, every appointment booked with the victim provider is silently mirrored to the attacker's Google Calendar, exposing customer names and email addresses with no visible alert to the victim. No public POC exists at time of analysis, but the technique requires only standard browser requests and a Google account.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 14, 2026

OAuth provider rebinding in Easy!Appointments prior to version 1.6.0 allows any authenticated backend user - including low-privilege secretary and provider roles - to silently hijack a peer provider's Google Calendar integration by supplying an arbitrary provider_id to the OAuth initiation endpoint. The attacker completes a legitimate Google OAuth flow with their own Google account, which the application then binds to the victim provider's database row without verifying ownership. From that point forward, every appointment on the victim's schedule syncs to the attacker's Google Calendar, leaking customer names and email addresses as attendee data. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Easy!Appointments version 1.6.0, which is confirmed as the patched release per the project description and the CHANGELOG entry in commit 4b2d245d2cd2058dc76e05f6eb65b26699268471. The fix enforces that only administrators (with PRIV_USERS edit rights) or the provider whose own ID matches the OAuth initiation request may complete the Google OAuth binding flow; all others receive HTTP 403. The patch also nullifies the session-stored oauth_provider_id after use, preventing replay. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict backend account creation to fully trusted users, disable Google Calendar sync for the installation until patching is completed, and audit the google_sync and google_token columns in the providers table for unexpected OAuth bindings. The commit and advisory are at https://github.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/commit/4b2d245d2cd2058dc76e05f6eb65b26699268471 and https://github.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/security/advisories/GHSA-8hm4-r66f-29wr.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Easy!Appointments is a PHP-based self-hosted scheduling application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:alextselegidis:easyappointments:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The flaw resides in application/controllers/Google.php. The Google::oauth method accepts a provider_id from the URL query string and stores it unsanitized in the PHP session. When the Google OAuth callback (oauth_callback) is triggered, the application retrieves this session-stored provider_id and writes the newly issued Google OAuth token to that provider's database record - without confirming that the requesting user's session identity matches the target provider or that the user holds administrative privileges. This is a textbook CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) pattern: the provider_id functions as an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) key that the caller fully controls. The fix in commit 4b2d245d2cd2058dc76e05f6eb65b26699268471 adds an ownership and permission gate - enforcing either PRIV_USERS edit rights (admin) or a match between the session user_id and the target oauth_provider_id - and clears the session variable after use to prevent replay.

DescriptionCVE.org

Easy!Appointments is a self hosted appointment scheduler. In versions prior to 1.6.0, Google::oauth at application/controllers/Google.php:278 stores its URL-supplied provider_id in the session, and oauth_callback saves the issued Google OAuth token against that row without checking the caller owns the provider. Any logged-in backend user (admin, provider, or secretary) rebinds a peer provider's Google sync to a Google account they control. The peer's appointments then sync into the attacker's calendar with each customer's name and email attached as attendee data. Version 1.6.0 patches the issue.
