Database modification via stored template-field SQL injection
Published May 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Stored SQL injection in Cacti before 1.2.27 allows remote authenticated users to alter database data through crafted template input. The form_save() path stores an unchecked graph_template_input.column_name value, and draw_nontemplated_fields_graph_item() later concatenates it directly into SQL. Low-privileged access can plant the value, but an administrator must open the affected graph editor to execute it; the published proof deletes session data.
