DESCRIPTION:
KeyShore and KeyYog have discovered a vulnerability in Calcium, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed to the "EventText" parameter when adding a new event
isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site when the
malicious event is viewed.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 3.10.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
