Description:
A security issue has been reported in WebCalendar, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is caused due to an error where the "assistant_edit.php" script can be accessed without proper permissions. This can be exploited to change assistants and display all users in the system even when the "Public access can view other users" setting has been disabled.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to "view_entry.php" by accessing it directly.
Solution:
Update to version 1.0.0.
