CVE-2025-26520: 
Cacti vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

Cacti through version 1.2.29 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the template function within hosttemplates.php, which can be exploited via the graphtemplate parameter. This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-54146 (MITRE, Debian Tracker).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a SQL injection (CWE-89) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 7.6 HIGH (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H). The issue stems from improper validation of the graphtemplate parameter in the template function of hosttemplates.php, allowing malicious SQL code injection (MITRE).

Impact

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the underlying database, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, and system compromise with high availability impact (MITRE).

Mitigation and workarounds

A fix has been implemented in the Cacti repository through commit 7fa60c03ad4a69c701ac6b77c85a8927df7acd51, which addresses the SQL injection vulnerability by implementing proper input validation for the graph_template parameter (GitHub Commit, GitHub PR).
