Cacti config_settings.php script SQL injection
| cacti-configsettings-sql-injection (21120) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Cacti is vulnerable to SQL injection caused by improper validation of user-supplied input in the config_settings.php script in the graph creation tool. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements to the config_settings.php script using the id variable, which would allow the attacker to add, modify, or delete data from the database or possibly gain unauthorized access to the administrative password.
Consequences:
Data Manipulation
