Cacti is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the
application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code
in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the
affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based
authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Versions prior to Cacti 0.8.7b are vulnerable.
