SQL injection vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.6i and earlier, when register_argc_argv is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) second or (2) third arguments to cmd.php. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to execute arbitrary commands since the SQL query results are later used in the polling_items array and popen function.

graph_image.php in Cacti 0.8.6i, and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large value of the (1) graph_start or (2) graph_end parameter, different vectors than CVE-2007-3113.

Cacti 0.8.6i, and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large value of the (1) graph_height or (2) graph_width parameter, different vectors than CVE-2007-3112.

Cacti 0.8.5a allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information via an HTTP request to (1) auth.php, (2) auth_login.php, (3) auth_changepassword.php, and possibly other php files, which reveal the installation path in a PHP error message.

SQL injection vulnerability in auth_login.php in Cacti 0.8.5a allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands and bypass authentication via the (1) username or (2) password parameters.

PHP file inclusion vulnerability in top_graph_header.php in Cacti 0.8.6d and possibly earlier versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the config[library_path] parameter.

SQL injection vulnerability in config_settings.php for Cacti before 0.8.6e allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in config_settings.php in Cacti before 0.8.6e allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the config[include_path] parameter.

Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier does not perform proper input validation to protect against common attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or SQL by sending a legitimate value in a POST request or cookie, then specifying the attack string in the URL, which causes the get_request_var function to return the wrong value in the $_REQUEST variable, which is cleansed while the original malicious $_GET value remains unmodified, as demonstrated in (1) graph_image.php and (2) graph.php.

config.php in Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier allows remote attackers to set the no_http_headers switch, then modify session information to gain privileges and disable the use of addslashes to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The server.php test script in ADOdb for PHP before 4.70, as used in multiple products including (1) Mantis, (2) PostNuke, (3) Moodle, (4) Cacti, (5) Xaraya, (6) PHPOpenChat, (7) MAXdev MD-Pro, and (8) MediaBeez, when the MySQL root password is empty, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the sql parameter.

Dynamic code evaluation vulnerability in tests/tmssql.php test script in ADOdb for PHP before 4.70, as used in multiple products including (1) Mantis, (2) PostNuke, (3) Moodle, (4) Cacti, (5) Xaraya, (6) PhpOpenChat, possibly (7) MAXdev MD-Pro, and (8) Simplog, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP functions via the do parameter, which is saved in a variable that is then executed as a function, as demonstrated using phpinfo.

Cacti before 0.6.8 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the "Data Input" option in console mode.

graphs.php in Cacti before 0.6.8 allows remote authenticated Cacti administrators to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the title during edit mode.

Cacti before 0.6.8 stores a MySQL username and password in plaintext in config.php, which has world-readable permissions, which allows local users to modify databases as the Cacti user and possibly gain privileges.

Cacti RCE vulnerability when importing packages

Cacti provides an operational monitoring and fault management framework. Prior to version 1.2.27, an arbitrary file write vulnerability, exploitable through the "Package Import" feature, allows authenticated users having the "Import Templates" permission to execute arbitrary PHP code on the web server. The vulnerability is located within the `import_package()` function defined into the `/lib/import.php` script. The function blindly trusts the filename and file content provided within the XML data, and writes such files into the Cacti base path (or even outside, since path traversal sequences are not filtered). This can be exploited to write or overwrite arbitrary files on the web server, leading to execution of arbitrary PHP code or other security impacts. Version 1.2.27 contains a patch for this issue.
