In clearFilter() in utilities.php in Cacti before 1.2.3, no escaping occurs before printing out the value of the SNMP community string (SNMP Options) in the View poller cache, leading to XSS.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In clearFilter() in utilities.php in Cacti before 1.2.3, no escaping occurs before printing out the value     of the SNMP community string (SNMP Options) in the View poller cache, leading to XSS. (CVE-2019-11025)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2965 advisory.

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Cacti, a web interface for graphing of monitoring systems,     leading to authentication bypass and cross-site scripting (XSS). An attacker may get access to     unauthorized areas and impersonate other users, under certain conditions. CVE-2018-10060 Cacti has XSS     because it does not properly reject unintended characters, related to use of the sanitize_uri function in     lib/functions.php. CVE-2018-10061 Cacti has XSS because it makes certain htmlspecialchars calls without     the ENT_QUOTES flag (these calls occur when the html_escape function in lib/html.php is not used).
    CVE-2019-11025 No escaping occurs before printing out the value of the SNMP community string (SNMP     Options) in the View poller cache, leading to XSS. CVE-2020-7106 Cacti has stored XSS in multiple files as     demonstrated by the description parameter in data_sources.php (a raw string from the database that is     displayed by $header to trigger the XSS). CVE-2020-13230 Disabling a user account does not immediately     invalidate any permissions granted to that account (e.g., permission to view logs). CVE-2020-23226     Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in multiple files. CVE-2021-23225 Cacti allows     authenticated users with User Management permissions to inject arbitrary web script or HTML in the     new_username field during creation of a new user via Copy method at user_admin.php. CVE-2022-0730 Under     certain ldap conditions, Cacti authentication can be bypassed with certain credential types. For Debian 9     stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.8h+ds1-10+deb9u2. We recommend that you upgrade     your cacti packages.
