Id Description
41785 Cacti index.php/sql.php Login Action login_username Parameter SQL Injection

41784 Cacti graph_xport.php local_graph_id Parameter SQL Injection

41783 Cacti tree.php Multiple Parameter SQL Injection

41740 Cacti graph.php view_type Parameter XSS

41739 Cacti graph_view.php graph_list Parameter SQL Injection

Cacti contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 'graph_view.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'graph_list' variable. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database.
