Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-23225 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cacti Cacti. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23225/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23225/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-23225","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23225/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-23225","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-23225","GHSA-m54w-jgp2-mf5q","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-23225"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network monitoring tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with User Management permissions can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the username field during user creation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"cacti","vendor":"cacti"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cacti 1.1.38 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.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Cacti","id":"CVE-2021-23225","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cacti:cacti","products":["cacti:cacti","debian:debian_linux"],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WordPress PHP Everywhere Plugin \u003c= 2.0.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-23227"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This candidate was in a CNA pool that was not assigned to any issues during 2021.","id":"CVE-2021-23224"},"products":["Cacti"],"published":"2022-01-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti Command Injection","id":"CVE-2022-46169","kev_date_added":"2023-02-16","published":"2022-12-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti: Pre-authentication SQL injection via rfilter RLIKE clause in graph_view.php","id":"CVE-2026-39893","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti: Unauthenticated RCE on Graph Image","id":"CVE-2026-39938","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti has Pre-Authentication SQL Injection via unanchored FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP in graph_view.php","id":"CVE-2026-39955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unauthenticated SQL Injection in graph_view.php in Cacti","id":"CVE-2023-39361","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Cati","id":"CVE-2022-0730","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with User Management permissions can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the username field during user creation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23225/"}
