In Cacti before 1.2.11, disabling a user account does not immediately invalidate any permissions granted to that account (e.g., permission to view logs).

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5214-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Cacti was incorrectly validating permissions for user accounts that had been     recently disabled. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this to obtain unauthorized access to     application and system data. (CVE-2020-13230)

    It was discovered that Cacti was incorrectly performing authorization checks in auth_profile.php. A remote     unauthenticated attacker could use this to perform a CSRF attack and set a new admin email or make other     changes. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-13231)

    It was discovered that Cacti incorrectly handled user provided input sent through request parameters to     the color.php script. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to perform SQL injection     attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-14295)

    It was discovered that Cacti did not properly escape file input fields when performing template import     operations for various themes. An authenticated attacker could use this to perform XSS attacks. This issue     only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-14424)

    It was discovered that Cacti incorrectly handled user provided input sent through request parameters to     the data_debug.php script. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to perform SQL injection     attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-35701)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2965 advisory.

  - Cacti before 1.1.37 has XSS because it does not properly reject unintended characters, related to use of     the sanitize_uri function in lib/functions.php. (CVE-2018-10060)

  - Cacti before 1.1.37 has XSS because it makes certain htmlspecialchars calls without the ENT_QUOTES flag     (these calls occur when the html_escape function in lib/html.php is not used). (CVE-2018-10061)

  - In clearFilter() in utilities.php in Cacti before 1.2.3, no escaping occurs before printing out the value     of the SNMP community string (SNMP Options) in the View poller cache, leading to XSS. (CVE-2019-11025)

  - In Cacti before 1.2.11, disabling a user account does not immediately invalidate any permissions granted     to that account (e.g., permission to view logs). (CVE-2020-13230)

  - Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulneratiblities exist in Cacti 1.2.12 in (1) reports_admin.php, (2)     data_queries.php, (3) data_input.php, (4) graph_templates.php, (5) graphs.php, (6) reports_admin.php, and     (7) data_input.php. (CVE-2020-23226)

  - Cacti 1.2.8 has stored XSS in data_sources.php, color_templates_item.php, graphs.php, graph_items.php,     lib/api_automation.php, user_admin.php, and user_group_admin.php, as demonstrated by the description     parameter in data_sources.php (a raw string from the database that is displayed by $header to trigger the     XSS). (CVE-2020-7106)

  - Cacti 1.1.38 allows authenticated users with User Management permissions to inject arbitrary web script or     HTML in the new_username field during creation of a new user via Copy method at user_admin.php.
    (CVE-2021-23225)

  - Under certain ldap conditions, Cacti authentication can be bypassed with certain credential types.
    (CVE-2022-0730)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

- Update to 1.2.12
