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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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.
