ACal Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

ACal is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to properly sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in dynamic web content. Implementing a content security policy (CSP) can also help protect against XSS attacks.
