Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Cacti application running on the remote web server is prior to version 0.8.6e. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A PHP file inclusion vulnerability exists in 'top_graph_header.php' that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code using the 'config[library_path]' parameter. (CVE-2005-1524)

- A SQLi vulnerability exists in 'config_settings.php' that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands using the 'id' parameter. (CVE-2005-1525)

- A PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability exists in 'config_settings.php' that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code using the 'config[include_path]' parameter. (CVE-2005-1526)

Solution

Upgrade to Cacti 0.8.6e or later.
