Cacti Cross-Site Scripting and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

Cacti is prone to cross-site-scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to Cacti version 0.8.7g or later.
