`----------------------------------------------------------------  
Cacti <= 1.2.26 (import.php) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability  
----------------------------------------------------------------  
  
  
[-] Software Link:  
  
https://cacti.net  
  
  
[-] Affected Versions:  
  
Version 1.2.26 and prior versions.  
  
  
[-] Vulnerability Description:  
  
The vulnerability is located within the "import_package()" function  
defined into the /lib/import.php script. This function blindly trusts  
the filename and file content provided within the uploaded XML data,  
and writes such files into the Cacti base path (or even outside, since  
Path Traversal sequences are not filtered). This can be exploited to  
write or overwrite arbitrary files on the web server, leading to  
execution of arbitrary PHP code or other security impacts.  
  
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an user account  
having the "Import Templates" permission.  
  
  
[-] Solution:  
  
Upgrade to version 1.2.27 or later.
