Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Cacti up to 1.2.8. It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function ss_net_snmp_disk_io/ss_net_snmp_disk_bytes of the component OID Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Cacti is an open source performance and fault management framework. Due to a flaw in multi-line SNMP result parser, authenticated users can inject malformed OIDs in the response. When processed by ss_net_snmp_disk_io() or ss_net_snmp_disk_bytes(), a part of each OID will be used as a key in an array that is used as part of a system command, causing a command execution vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.29.
