The Cacti Group Cacti 0.8.6b

config.php in Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier allows remote attackers to set the no_http_headers switch, then modify session information to gain privileges and disable the use of addslashes to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier does not perform proper input validation to protect against common attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or SQL by sending a legitimate value in a POST request or cookie, then specifying the attack string in the URL, which causes the get_request_var function to return the wrong value in the $_REQUEST variable, which is cleansed while the original malicious $_GET value remains unmodified, as demonstrated in (1) graph_image.php and (2) graph.php.
