Cacti < 0.8.8b Command and SQL Injections

high Nessus Plugin ID 69306

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by command injection and SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Cacti application running on the remote web server is prior to version 0.8.8b. It is, therefore, potentially affected by command injection and SQL injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to various scripts. An attacker may be able to exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code as well as access or modify the underlying database for the application.

Solution

Upgrade to Cacti 0.8.8b or later.
