CVE-2024-31444Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Browser script execution via unsanitized automation rule name

Published May 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Stored cross-site scripting in Cacti before 1.2.27 allows remote authenticated users to execute browser script through an automation rule name. automation_tree_rules_form_save() stores an unchecked name in automation_tree_rules, and form_confirm() later concatenates that value directly into HTML as $text. Administrator privileges are required both to store the name and trigger its removal confirmation, where the script runs in the viewing administrator's browser and can alter page behavior or interrupt that session.
