Description

Cacti contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the user input filters that were added to the Cacti 0.8.6e codebase to address the possible SQL Injections, which were wrongly implemented and can be tricked to let injection attacks through. This may allow an attacker to perform multiple SQL injections, which may allow exploitation to gain administrative privileges and perform arbitrary SQL queries. These attacks require that "register_globals" is enabled.
