Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability explicitly references cal2.jsp as the entry point for both CSRF (via parameter-driven event creation) and XSS (via unescaped parameter output). The lack of CSRF tokens in requests and absence of output encoding for user-controlled parameters like 'time' and 'description' directly enable these attacks. While no specific Java functions are named in advisories, the JSP's parameter handling logic is the clear vulnerable component.
