Cacti provides an operational monitoring and fault management framework. Prior to version 1.2.27, some of the data stored in formsave() function in graphtemplateinputs.php is not thoroughly checked and is used to concatenate the SQL statement in drawnontemplatedfieldsgraphitem() function from lib/htmlformtemplates.php , finally resulting in SQL injection. Version 1.2.27 contains a patch for the issue.
