Authenticated SQL injection via managers.php
Published Dec 22, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
SQL injection in Cacti 1.2.25 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with Settings/Utilities permission to read database data via managers.php. The form_actions function deserializes selected_graphs_array input, joins the resulting values, and concatenates them into raw SQL without validating numeric elements. Exploitation requires a low-privilege account and a populated affected table; blind queries can disclose database contents and database configuration can enable file read or code execution.
