CVE-2006-6799: The Cacti Group Cacti

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 2.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

SQL injection vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.6i and earlier, when register_argc_argv is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) second or (2) third arguments to cmd.php. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to execute arbitrary commands since the SQL query results are later used in the polling_items array and popen function.

Affected products

• The Cacti Group Cacti: up to and including 0.8.6i
