Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Cacti versions 1.2.30 and prior. The 'tab' parameter in auth_profile.php is rendered directly into a JavaScript context without sufficient escaping or validation. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a URL containing a malicious payload in the 'tab' parameter and persuading a logged-in user to visit it. The fix, introduced in version 1.2.31, implements strict input validation using a regular expression (restricting input to alphanumeric characters and underscores) and ensures the output is safely encoded using json_encode.
