Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of cacti installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.19-6.24. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2024-1915 advisory.

- Cacti provides an operational monitoring and fault management framework. Version 1.2.25 has a Blind SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability within the SNMP Notification Receivers feature in the file `managers.php'`. An authenticated attacker with the Settings/Utilities permission can send a crafted HTTP GET request to the endpoint `/cacti/managers.php'` with an SQLi payload in the `selected_graphs_array'` HTTP GET parameter. As of time of publication, no patched versions exist.
(CVE-2023-51448)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update cacti' to update your system.
