CVE-2023-39512

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 data_sources.php displays the data
source management information (e.g. data source path, polling
configuration, device name related to the datasource 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.
