A SQL injection issue in color.php in Cacti 1.2.12 allows an admin to inject SQL via the filter parameter. This can lead to remote command execution because the product accepts stacked queries.

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.

  - 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)

  - In Cacti before 1.2.11, auth_profile.php?action=edit allows CSRF for an admin email change.
    (CVE-2020-13231)

  - A SQL injection issue in color.php in Cacti 1.2.12 allows an admin to inject SQL via the filter parameter.
    This can lead to remote command execution because the product accepts stacked queries. (CVE-2020-14295)

  - Cacti before 1.2.18 allows remote attackers to trigger XSS via template import for the midwinter theme.
    (CVE-2020-14424)

  - An issue was discovered in Cacti 1.2.x through 1.2.16. A SQL injection vulnerability in data_debug.php     allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the site_id parameter. This     can lead to remote code execution. (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.

Cacti developers reports :

SQL Injection via color.php in Cacti (CVE-2020-14295).

This update for cacti, cacti-spine fixes the following issues :

  - cacti 1.2.13 :

  - Query XSS vulnerabilities require vendor package update     (CVE-2020-11022 / CVE-2020-11023)

  - Lack of escaping on some pages can lead to XSS exposure

  - Update PHPMailer to 6.1.6 (CVE-2020-13625)

  - SQL Injection vulnerability due to input validation     failure when editing colors (CVE-2020-14295,     boo#1173090)

  - Lack of escaping on template import can lead to XSS     exposure

  - switch from cron to systemd timers (boo#1115436) :

  + cacti-cron.timer

  + cacti-cron.service

  - avoid potential root escalation on systems with     fs.protected_hardlinks=0 (boo#1154087): handle directory     permissions in file section instead of using chown     during post installation

  - rewrote apache configuration to get rid of .htaccess     files and explicitely disable directory permissions per     default (only allow a limited, well-known set of     directories)
