Summary
Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. Affected versions are subject to a Stored Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability which 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 script under `graphs.php` displays graph details such as data-source paths, data template information and graph related fields. _CENSUS_ found that an adversary that is able to configure either a data-source template with malicious code appended in the data-source name or a device with a malicious payload injected in the device name, may deploy a stored XSS attack against any user with _General Administration>Graphs_ privileges. A user that possesses the _Template Editor>Data Templates_ permissions can configure the data-source name in _cacti_. Please note that this may be a _low privileged_ user. This configuration occurs through `http://<HOST>/cacti/data_templates.php` by editing an existing or adding a new data template. If a template is linked to a graph then the formatted template name will be rendered in the graph's management page. A user that possesses the _General Administration>Sites/Devices/Data_ permissions can configure the device name in _cacti_. This vulnerability has been addressed in version 1.2.25. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should add manual HTML escaping.

         value: "Cacti es un framework de monitorización operativa y gestión de fallos de código abierto. Las versiones afectadas están sujetas a una vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) almacenado que permite a un usuario autenticado envenenar a los datos almacenados en la base de datos de cacti. Estos datos serán visualizados por las cuentas administrativas de cacti y ejecutarán código JavaScript en el navegador de la víctima en tiempo de visualización. El script bajo \"graphs.php\" muestra detalles del gráfico como rutas de origen de datos, información de la plantilla de datos y campos relacionados con el gráfico _CENSUS_ descubrió que un adversario que es capaz de configurar una plantilla de fuente de datos con código malicioso añadido en el nombre de la fuente de datos o un dispositivo con una carga maliciosa inyectada en el nombre del dispositivo, puede desplegar un ataque XSS almacenado contra cualquier usuario con privilegios de Administración General - Gráficos. Un usuario que posea los permisos de Editor de plantillas - Plantilla de datos puede configurar el nombre de la fuente de datos en cacti. Tenga en cuenta que puede tratarse de un usuario con privilegios bajos. Esta configuración se realiza a través de \"http:///cacti/data_templates.php\" editando una plantilla de datos existente o añadiendo una nueva. Si una plantilla está vinculada a un gráfico, el nombre formateado de la plantilla se mostrará en la página de gestión del gráfico. Un usuario que posea los permisos Administración General - Sitios/Dispositivos/Datos puede configurar el nombre del dispositivos en cacti. Esta vulnerabilidad se ha solucionado en la versión 1.2.25. Se recomienda a los usuarios que la actualicen. Los usuarios que no puedan actualizar deberán añadir manualmente el escape HTML. ",
