In Cacti before 1.2.11, disabling a user account does not immediately invalidate any permissions granted to that account (e.g., permission to view logs).

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

  - In Cacti before 1.2.11, disabling a user account does not immediately invalidate any permissions granted     to that account (e.g., permission to view logs). (CVE-2020-13230)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5214-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Cacti was incorrectly validating permissions for user accounts that had been     recently disabled. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this to obtain unauthorized access to     application and system data. (CVE-2020-13230)

    It was discovered that Cacti was incorrectly performing authorization checks in auth_profile.php. A remote     unauthenticated attacker could use this to perform a CSRF attack and set a new admin email or make other     changes. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-13231)

    It was discovered that Cacti incorrectly handled user provided input sent through request parameters to     the color.php script. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to perform SQL injection     attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-14295)

    It was discovered that Cacti did not properly escape file input fields when performing template import     operations for various themes. An authenticated attacker could use this to perform XSS attacks. This issue     only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-14424)

    It was discovered that Cacti incorrectly handled user provided input sent through request parameters to     the data_debug.php script. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to perform SQL injection     attacks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-35701)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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.
