WebCalendar Multiple HTML-Injection and Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
WebCalendar is prone to multiple HTML-injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. The attacker could also exploit the HTML-injection issues to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate dynamic content.
