Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the "selected_graphs_array" HTTP GET parameter to /cacti/managers.php within the SNMP Notification Receivers feature. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
