CVE-2024-31443Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped data-query name

Published May 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Stored XSS in Cacti before 1.2.27 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser through a data-query name. form_save() stores a controllable snmp_query.name value, and grow_right_pane_tree() inserts it into HTML without escaping. A low-privileged account can plant the value, but another authenticated user must open the crafted graph-tree request; the script runs with that viewer's web-session authority.
