  - 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.
    The vulnerability is found in `graphs_new.php`. Several validations are performed, but the `returnto`     parameter is directly passed to `form_save_button`. In order to bypass this validation, returnto must     contain `host.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. (CVE-2023-39360)

  - 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 `host.php` is used to     monitor and manage hosts in the _cacti_ app, hence displays useful information such as data queries and     verbose logs. _CENSUS_ found that an adversary that is able to configure a data-query template with     malicious code appended in the template path, in order to deploy a stored XSS attack against any user with     the _General Administration>Sites/Devices/Data_ privileges. A user that possesses the _Template     Editor>Data Queries_ permissions can configure the data query template path in _cacti_. Please note that     such a user may be a low privileged user. This configuration occurs through     `http://<HOST>/cacti/data_queries.php` by editing an existing or adding a new data query template. If a     template is linked to a device then the formatted template path will be rendered in the device's     management page, when a _verbose data query_ is requested. This vulnerability has been addressed in     version 1.2.25. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to update should manually filter HTML output.

    Impact of the vulnerability - execution of arbitrary javascript code in the attacked user's browser. This     issue has been patched in version 1.2.26. (CVE-2023-49086)

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. The fix applied for     CVE-2023-39515 in version 1.2.25 is incomplete as it enables an adversary to have a victim browser execute     malicious code when a victim user hovers their mouse over the malicious data source path in     `data_debug.php`. To perform the cross-site scripting attack, the adversary needs to be an authorized     cacti user with the following permissions: `General Administration>Sites/Devices/Data`. The victim of this     attack could be any account with permissions to view `http://<HOST>/cacti/data_debug.php`. As of time of     publication, no complete fix has been included in Cacti. (CVE-2023-49088)

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. A reflection cross-site     scripting vulnerability was discovered in version 1.2.25. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to     perform actions on behalf of other users. The vulnerability is found in `templates_import.php.` When     uploading an xml template file, if the XML file does not pass the check, the server will give a JavaScript     pop-up prompt, which contains unfiltered xml template file name, resulting in XSS. An attacker exploiting     this vulnerability could execute actions on behalf of other users. This ability to impersonate users could     lead to unauthorized changes to settings. As of time of publication, no patched versions are available.

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 10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3765 advisory.

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. A defect in the sql_save     function was discovered. When the column type is numeric, the sql_save function directly utilizes user     input. Many files and functions calling the sql_save function do not perform prior validation of user     input, leading to the existence of multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Cacti. This allows     authenticated users to exploit these SQL injection vulnerabilities to perform privilege escalation and     remote code execution. This issue has been addressed in version 1.2.25. Users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39357)

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. Affected versions are     subject to a SQL injection discovered in graph_view.php. Since guest users can access graph_view.php     without authentication by default, if guest users are being utilized in an enabled state, there could be     the potential for significant damage. Attackers may exploit this vulnerability, and there may be     possibilities for actions such as the usurpation of administrative privileges or remote code execution.
    This issue has been addressed in version 1.2.25. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known     workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39361)

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. In Cacti 1.2.24, under     certain conditions, an authenticated privileged user, can use a malicious string in the SNMP options of a     Device, performing command injection and obtaining remote code execution on the underlying server. The     `lib/snmp.php` file has a set of functions, with similar behavior, that accept in input some variables and     place them into an `exec` call without a proper escape or validation. This issue has been addressed in     version 1.2.25. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2023-39362)

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. In Cacti 1.2.24, users with     console access can be redirected to an arbitrary website after a change password performed via a     specifically crafted URL. The `auth_changepassword.php` file accepts `ref` as a URL parameter and reflects     it in the form used to perform the change password. It's value is used to perform a redirect via `header`     PHP function. A user can be tricked in performing the change password operation, e.g., via a phishing     message, and then interacting with the malicious website where the redirection has been performed, e.g.,     downloading malwares, providing credentials, etc. This issue has been addressed in version 1.2.25. Users     are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39364)

  - Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework.
