Description

Cacti contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'date1' and 'date2' parameters upon submission to the lib/timespan_settings.php script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
