PHP iCalendar multiple scripts cross-site scripting
| phpicalendar-multiple-scripts-xss (31146) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
PHP iCalendar is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by multiple scripts. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the getdate, cpath or query parameter in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
