Description:
Some input validation vulnerabilities were reported in Cacti. A remote user can inject SQL commands. A remote user can execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The software does not properly validate user-supplied input. A remote user can supply specially crafted parameter values to execute SQL commands on the underlying database.
If the 'register_globals' configuration is set to 'on' in the target user's 'php.ini' configuration file, then a remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to overwrite certain PHP variables and cause the system to include and execute arbitrary PHP code. The PHP code, including operating system commands, will run with the privileges of the target web service.
The vendor credits iDEFENSE with reporting these vulnerabilities.
|
Impact:
A remote user can execute arbitrary PHP code and operating system commands on the target system with the privileges of the target web service.
A remote user can execute SQL commands on the underlying database.
