Cacti top_graph_header.php file include
| cacti-topgraphheader-file-include (21118) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Cacti could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files caused by improper validation of user-supplied input in the top_graph_header.php script. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL to the top_graph_header.php script using the library_path variable to include a malicious file from a remote system which would enable the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
