{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160","details":"A HTML injection vulnerability exists in the file upload functionality of Cacti \u003c= 1.2.29. When a file with an invalid format is uploaded, the application reflects the submitted filename back into an error popup without proper sanitization. As a result, attackers can inject arbitrary HTML elements (e.g., \u003ch1\u003e, \u003cb\u003e, \u003csvg\u003e) into the rendered page. NOTE: Multiple third-parties including the maintainer have stated that they cannot reproduce this issue after 1.2.27.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:23:29.805361571Z","published":"2026-01-29T18:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-45160"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-45160"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-45160"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gist.github.com/BEND0US/49d76897a5bb676d8c3f51425553cc32"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/Cacti/cacti"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"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_name":"cacti","binary_version":"0.8.8b+dfsg-5ubuntu0.2+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fxenial"},"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_name":"cacti","binary_version":"0.8.8f+ds1-4ubuntu4.16.04.2+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"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/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"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_name":"cacti","binary_version":"1.2.10+ds1-1ubuntu1.1+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"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/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?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/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?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_name":"cacti","binary_version":"1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-45160.json"}},{"package":{"name":"cacti","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/cacti?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu1","1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"cacti","binary_version":"1.2.30+ds1-1ubuntu2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canon
