(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)
