CVE-2023-49084

What is CVE-2023-49084?

The Cacti performance management framework is vulnerable to an SQL Injection issue, allowing unauthorized code execution on the server. This vulnerability arises from insufficient handling of the include file path within the 'link.php' component. An attacker with authorized access could exploit this weakness to execute arbitrary code, posing significant risks to the integrity and availability of the server hosting Cacti.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
