Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass inbound access controls and reach the voice-call agent.

The vulnerability exists due to improper authentication in the inbound allowlist check in extensions/voice-call/src/manager.ts when handling inbound calls under allowlist or pairing policy. A remote attacker can place a call with an empty caller ID or a caller number whose digits end with an allowlisted number to bypass inbound access controls and reach the voice-call agent.

Only deployments with the optional voice-call extension installed and enabled are vulnerable.
