CVE-2023-39511

Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management
framework. Affected versions are subject to a Stored Cross-Site-Scripting
(XSS) Vulnerability which 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 script under reports_admin.php displays
reporting information about graphs, devices, data sources etc. CENSUS
found that an adversary that is able to configure a malicious device name,
related to a graph attached to a report, can deploy a stored XSS attack
against any super user who has privileges of viewing the
reports_admin.php page, such as administrative accounts. 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/reports_admin.php when the a graph with
the maliciously altered device name is linked to the report. This issue has
been addressed in version 1.2.25. Users are advised to upgrade. Users
unable to upgrade should manually filter HTML output.
