CVE-2025-24368Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database modification via stored tree-rule field injection

Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Nov 3, 2025

SQL injection in Cacti before 1.2.29 allows remote attackers to modify its database through crafted automation tree-rule fields. The automation_tree_rules.php handler stores an unchecked field value, and build_rule_item_filter() later concatenates it into SQL executed by get_matching_hosts(). Exploitation requires planting the field and triggering the host action; the resulting database write can support arbitrary file access or code execution.
