According to its self-reported version number, the Cacti application running on the remote web server is prior to version 0.8.8c. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exist in the 'step'     parameter to 'install/index.php' and the 'id'     parameter in 'cacti/host.php'. (CVE-2013-5588)

  - A SQL injection vulnerability in the 'id' parameter to     'cacti/host.php' could allow remote attackers to inject     arbitrary SQL commands. (CVE-2013-5589)

  - An XSS vulnerability exists via unspecified vectors to     'cdef.php'. (CVE-2014-2326)

  - A XSRF vulnerability exists that allows remote attackers     to hijack the authentication of users for unspecified     commands. (CVE-2014-2327)

  - A flaw exists in 'lib/graph_export.php' that allows     remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands     via shell metacharacters in unspecified vectors.
    (CVE-2014-2328)

  - Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in     'graph_xport.php' which allow remote attackers to inject     arbitrary SQL commands.  (CVE-2014-2708)

  - Improper escaping of shell metacharacters in unspecified     parameters allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     commands. (CVE-2014-2709)

  - Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exist that allow attackers     to inject arbitrary script data using the 'drp_action',     'graph_template_input_id', and 'graph_template_id'     parameters to various PHP scripts. (CVE-2014-4002)

  - A XSS vulnerability exists in 'data_sources.php' which     allows a remote, authenticated user with console access     to inject arbitrary script data via the 'name_cache'     parameter in a ds_edit action. (CVE-2014-5025)

  - Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exists that allow attackers     to inject arbitrary script data via 'Graph Tree Title',     'CDEF Name', 'Data Input Method Name', 'Host Templates     Name', 'Data Source Title', 'Graph Title', or 'Graph     Template Name' when carried out under delete, edit, or     duplicate actions. (CVE-2014-5026)
