Event Booking Calendar Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Event Booking Calendar which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.
1) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrator's password when a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web page.
2) Input passed via the "event_title" POST parameter to /index.php (when "action" is set to "create" and "controller" is set to "AdminEvents") and via the "category_title" POST parameter to /index.php (when "action" is set to "create" and "controller" is set to "AdminCategories") is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
