Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management
framework. Affected versions are subject to a Stored Cross-Site-Scripting
(XSS) Vulnerability allows an authenticated user to poison data stored in
the cacti’s database. These data will be viewed by administrative cacti
accounts and execute JavaScript code in the victim’s browser at view-time.
The data_sources.php
script displays the data source management
information (e.g. data source path, polling configuration etc.) for
different data visualizations of the cacti app. CENSUS found that an
adversary that is able to configure a malicious Device name, can deploy a
stored XSS attack against any user of the same (or broader) privileges. A
user that possesses the General Administration>Sites/Devices/Data
permissions can configure the device names in cacti. This configuration
occurs through http://<HOST>/cacti/host.php
, while the rendered malicious
payload is exhibited at http://<HOST>/cacti/data_sources.php
. This
vulnerability has been addressed in version 1.2.25. Users are advised to
upgrade. Users unable to update should manually filter HTML output.
