    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in cacti, a web     interface for graphing of monitoring systems, which may result in     information disclosure, authentication bypass, or remote code execution.

    CVE-2020-8813

        Askar discovered that an authenticated guest user with the graph         real-time privilege could execute arbitrary code on a server running         Cacti, via shell meta-characters in a cookie.

    CVE-2020-23226

        Jing Chen discovered multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS)         vulnerabilities in several pages, which can lead to information         disclosure.

    CVE-2020-25706

        joelister discovered an Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in         templates_import.php, which can lead to information disclosure.

    CVE-2022-0730

        It has been discovered that Cacti authentication can be bypassed         when LDAP anonymous binding is enabled.

    CVE-2022-46169

        Stefan Schiller discovered a command injection vulnerability,         allowing an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a         server running Cacti, if a specific data source was selected (which         is likely the case on a production instance) for any monitored         device.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1.2.2+ds1-2+deb10u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cacti packages.

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.
