CVE-2024-43362

Summary

CVE-2024-43362 is a vulnerability affecting the open-source performance and fault management framework, Cacti. The issue arises due to insufficient sanitization of the `fileurl` parameter when saving external links in `links.php`. Maliciously crafted `fileurl` values can be inserted into HTML code and passed to the `print` function in `link.php` and `index.php`, leading to stored XSS attacks. Users with the privilege to create external links can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the `fileurl` parameter in an HTTP post request. XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks occur when untrusted user input is displayed on a web page without proper validation or escaping. Cacti has released version 1.2.28 to address this issue, and users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
