Descriptions

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.

Cacti es un framework de gestión de fallos y monitoreo operativo de código abierto. Se descubrió una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting reflejado en la versión 1.2.25. Los atacantes pueden aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para realizar acciones en nombre de otros usuarios. La vulnerabilidad se encuentra en `templates_import.php.` Al cargar un archivo de plantilla xml, si el archivo XML no pasa la verificación, el servidor mostrará un mensaje emergente de JavaScript, que contiene el nombre del archivo de plantilla xml sin filtrar, lo que resulta en XSS. Un atacante que aproveche esta vulnerabilidad podría ejecutar acciones en nombre de otros usuarios. Esta capacidad de hacerse pasar por usuarios podría dar lugar a cambios no autorizados en la configuración. Al momento de la publicación, no hay versiones parcheadas disponibles.

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Cacti, a web interface for graphing of monitoring systems, which could result in cross-site scripting, SQL injection, or command injection.
