Description SMASH SMASH 2024-05-14 18:24:18 UTC 
Cacti provides an operational monitoring and fault management framework. Prior to version 1.2.27, there is a file inclusion issue in the `lib/plugin.php` file. Combined with SQL injection vulnerabilities, remote code execution can be implemented. There is a file inclusion issue with the `api_plugin_hook()` function in the `lib/plugin.php` file, which reads the plugin_hooks and plugin_config tables in database. The read data is directly used to concatenate the file path which is used for file inclusion. Version 1.2.27 contains a patch for the issue.

Comment 1 Camila Camargo de Matos 2024-05-14 18:26:27 UTC 
As per the upstream advisory [0], this issue only affects cacti at version 1.2.25 only. No openSUSE codestreams have cacti at that version. For that reason, package cacti is not affected in any openSUSE codestream.
