Cacti · Cacti · CVE-2024-31443
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Cacti versions prior to 1.2.27
Description:
Cacti provides an operational monitoring and fault management framework. The issue arises from the `form save()` function in `data queries.php`, where some stored data is not thoroughly checked and is used to concatenate the HTML statement in the `grow right pane tree()` function from `lib/html.php`, resulting in cross-site scripting.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 1.2.27, update to version 1.2.27 or later, which contains a patch for the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `form save()` function in `data queries.php` until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the `grow right pane tree()` function from `lib/html.php` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
