CVE-2023-39361Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via mismatched quote delimiters

Published Sep 5, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

SQL injection in graph_view.php in The Cacti Group Cacti before 1.2.25 allows remote attackers to execute SQL via the rfilter parameter. The grow_right_pane_tree function interpolates rfilter into a double-quoted RLIKE clause after validating it only as a single-quoted regular expression. Guest graph access must be enabled, which is the default; stacked queries permit database alteration, privilege escalation, and code execution.
