Date released:-8 dec 2005
Vulnerability Type: Input Validation Error
Overview:- PerlCal is a CGI script written by Acme Software that allows
web-based calendar sharing and related functions.There exists a cross-site
scripting vulnerability as the input in one of the parameters(p0) is not

Demonstration:- https://localhost/cgi-bin/perlcal/cal_make.pl
?p0=3D%3Cscript%3Ewindow.open('https://www.google.com');%3Cscript%3E<https://=
