Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-39366 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 4.8 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0089 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Sep 5, 2023 ## Description 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. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | cacti Debian 12.15 (bookworm) | 1.2.24+ds1-1+deb12u1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-39366](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-39366.md) | Sep 5, 2023 | | Linux | cacti Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 1.2.25+ds1-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-39366](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-39366.md) | Sep 5, 2023 | | Linux | cacti Debian 14 | 1.2.25+ds1-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-39366](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-39366.md) | Sep 5, 2023 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T00:53:09Z UTC.
