WordPress Spider Calendar Plugin Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Spider Calendar plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "date" parameter to front_end/spidercalendarbig.php 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.
2) Input passed via the "calendar_id" parameter to front_end/spidercalendarbig_seemore.php (when "ev_ids" is set to the id of an available event) is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in versions 1.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
