Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-4162 is an old cross-site scripting issue in ACME PerlCal 2.99.20. A remote attacker could make the calendar page return attacker-controlled script or HTML through the p0 parameter. Business impact depends on whether this legacy Perl calendar is still exposed to users. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running ACME PerlCal 2.99.20 or derived code with cal_make.pl reachable over HTTP. Internet-facing legacy CGI deployments carry higher risk than internal-only, authenticated deployments. Prioritize this if legacy PerlCal is public-facing or used by authenticated users. It is not a broad platform emergency based on the supplied evidence, but exposed legacy CGI software should be removed, upgraded, or isolated promptly. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for ACME PerlCal 2.99.20 and exposed cal_make.pl paths.; Review PerlCal vendor bug notes and cited advisories for fixed or replacement versions.; Remove or retire PerlCal if it is no longer business-critical..
