How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.12 cacti to version 1.2.8-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cacti package and not the cacti package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Cacti 1.2.8 has stored XSS in data_sources.php, color_templates_item.php, graphs.php, graph_items.php, lib/api_automation.php, user_admin.php, and user_group_admin.php, as demonstrated by the description parameter in data_sources.php (a raw string from the database that is displayed by $header to trigger the XSS).
