CVE-2025-22604Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via malformed SNMP OIDs

Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Nov 3, 2025

Command injection in Cacti 1.2.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute system commands via malformed SNMP responses. The multi-line parser in cacti_snmp_walk() accepts unfiltered OID text, and the disk scripts place an OID suffix into JSON embedded in shell_exec(). Device-management permission and control of an SNMP agent are required, after which commands run with the Cacti server process's privileges.
