{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362","details":"Cacti is an open source performance and fault management framework. The `fileurl` parameter is not properly sanitized when saving external links in `links.php` . Morever, the said fileurl is placed in some html code which is passed to the `print` function in `link.php` and `index.php`, finally leading to stored XSS. Users with the privilege to create external links can manipulate the `fileurl` parameter in the http post request while creating external links to perform stored XSS attacks. The vulnerability known as XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) occurs when an application allows untrusted user input to be displayed on a web page without proper validation or escaping. This issue has been addressed in release version 1.2.28. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.","modified":"2026-01-20T17:55:33.060017Z","published":"2024-10-07T21:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-43362"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-43362"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-43362"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/security/advisories/GHSA-wh9c-v56x-v77c"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.8.8b+dfsg-3","0.8.8b+dfsg-5","0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.1","0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2","0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2+esm1","0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2+esm2","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.2+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.8.8f+ds1-2","0.8.8f+ds1-3","0.8.8f+ds1-4","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu1","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu2","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu3","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.1","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.2","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.2+esm1","0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.2+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.2+esm2","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@1.1.38+ds1-1ubuntu0.1~esm4?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.18+ds1-1","1.1.27+ds1-2","1.1.27+ds1-3","1.1.28+ds1-2","1.1.35+ds1-1","1.1.36+ds1-1","1.1.38+ds1-1","1.1.38+ds1-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","1.1.38+ds1-1ubuntu0.1~esm3","1.1.38+ds1-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.1.38+ds1-1ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1.1+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.4+ds1-2ubuntu3","1.2.9+ds1-1ubuntu1","1.2.9+ds1-1ubuntu2","1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1","1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1+esm1","1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1.1","1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1.1+esm1","1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1.1+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1.1+esm2","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1.1+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.16+ds1-2ubuntu1","1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1","1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1+esm1","1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1.1","1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1.1+esm1","1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1.1+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.19+ds1-2ubuntu1.1+esm2","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@1.2.26+ds1-1ubuntu0.1?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.25+ds1-2","1.2.26+ds1-1","1.2.26+ds1-1ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.26+ds1-1ubuntu0.1","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti@1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu1?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.28+ds1-4ubuntu1","1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu1","binary_name":"cacti"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43362.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
