Cacti 0.8.6i, and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large value of the (1) graphheight or (2) graphwidth parameter, different vectors than CVE-2007-3112.
graphimage.php in Cacti 0.8.6i, and possibly other versions, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large value of the (1) graphstart or (2) graphend parameter, different vectors than CVE-2007-3113.
SQL injection vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.6i and earlier, when registerargcargv is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) second or (2) third arguments to cmd.php. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to execute arbitrary commands since the SQL query results are later used in the pollingitems array and popen function.
The server.php test script in ADOdb for PHP before 4.70, as used in multiple products including (1) Mantis, (2) PostNuke, (3) Moodle, (4) Cacti, (5) Xaraya, (6) PHPOpenChat, (7) MAXdev MD-Pro, and (8) MediaBeez, when the MySQL root password is empty, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the sql parameter.
Dynamic code evaluation vulnerability in tests/tmssql.php test script in ADOdb for PHP before 4.70, as used in multiple products including (1) Mantis, (2) PostNuke, (3) Moodle, (4) Cacti, (5) Xaraya, (6) PhpOpenChat, possibly (7) MAXdev MD-Pro, and (8) Simplog, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP functions via the do parameter, which is saved in a variable that is then executed as a function, as demonstrated using phpinfo.
Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier does not perform proper input validation to protect against common attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or SQL by sending a legitimate value in a POST request or cookie, then specifying the attack string in the URL, which causes the getrequestvar function to return the wrong value in the $REQUEST variable, which is cleansed while the original malicious $GET value remains unmodified, as demonstrated in (1) graphimage.php and (2) graph.php.
config.php in Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier allows remote attackers to set the nohttpheaders switch, then modify session information to gain privileges and disable the use of addslashes to conduct SQL injection attacks.
PHP file inclusion vulnerability in topgraphheader.php in Cacti 0.8.6d and possibly earlier versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the config[librarypath] parameter.
SQL injection vulnerability in configsettings.php for Cacti before 0.8.6e allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter.
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in configsettings.php in Cacti before 0.8.6e allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the config[includepath] parameter.
Cacti 0.8.5a allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information via an HTTP request to (1) auth.php, (2) authlogin.php, (3) authchangepassword.php, and possibly other php files, which reveal the installation path in a PHP error message.
SQL injection vulnerability in authlogin.php in Cacti 0.8.5a allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands and bypass authentication via the (1) username or (2) password parameters.
graphs.php in Cacti before 0.6.8 allows remote authenticated Cacti administrators to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the title during edit mode.
Cacti before 0.6.8 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the "Data Input" option in console mode.
Cacti before 0.6.8 stores a MySQL username and password in plaintext in config.php, which has world-readable permissions, which allows local users to modify databases as the Cacti user and possibly gain privileges.
