QID 356459: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for cacti : ALAS-2023-1862
Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework.
In cacti 1.2.24, under certain conditions, an authenticated privileged user, can use a malicious string in the snmp options of a device, performing command injection and obtaining remote code execution on the underlying server.
The `lib/snmp.php` file has a set of functions, with similar behavior, that accept in input some variables and place them into an `exec` call without a proper escape or validation.
This issue has been addressed in version 1.2.25.
Users are advised to upgrade.
There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (
