Cacti has started using header directives to prevent XSS attacks using Apache. Best to goto release 1.2.11 once released as it includes the changes. You can get most of them from 1.2.10 as well, but if you are a big site, you will have to pull some fixes from the yet to be released 1.2.11 anyway.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
