Insight
Insight
Multiple issues have been found in cacti, a server monitoring system, potentially resulting in SQL code execution or information disclosure by authenticated users. CVE-2019-16723 Authenticated users may bypass authorization checks for viewing a graph by submitting requests with modified local_graph_id parameters. CVE-2019-17357 The graph administration interface insufficiently sanitizes the template_id parameter, potentially resulting in SQL injection. This vulnerability might be leveraged by authenticated attackers to perform unauthorized SQL code execution on the database.
