Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server has a PHP application that is affected by
multiple vulnerabilities.

Description :

The remote version of WebCalendar does not validate input to the 'id'
and 'format' parameters of the 'export_handler.php' script before
using it to overwrite files on the remote host, subject to the
rights of the web server user id.

In addition, the 'activity_log.php', 'admin_handler.php',
'edit_report_handler.php', 'edit_template.php' and
'export_handler.php' scripts are prone to SQL injection attacks and
the 'layers_toggle.php' script is prone to HTTP response splitting
attacks.
