NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cacti package and not the cacti package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.21 relevant fixed versions and status.

Cacti is an open source performance and fault management framework. Prior to 1.2.29, an administrator can change the Poller Standard Error Log Path parameter in either Installation Step 5 or in Configuration->Settings->Paths tab to a local file inside the server. Then simply going to Logs tab and selecting the name of the local file will show its content on the web UI. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.29.
