Summary
Stored Cross-site Scripting in data_sources.php through Device-Name in 'select' input in Cacti
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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 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 data_sources.php script displays the data source management information (e.g. data source path, polling configuration etc.) for different data visualizations of the cacti app.
CENSUS found that an adversary that is able to configure a malicious Device name, can deploy a stored XSS attack against any user of the same (or broader) privileges. A user that possesses the General Administration>Sites/Devices/Data permissions can configure the device names in cacti. This configuration occurs through http:///cacti/host.php, while the rendered malicious payload is exhibited at http:///cacti/data_sources.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.
