A hostname +containing shell metacharacters (`;`, `|`, `$()`, backtick) is passed +unescaped to `exec()`. + +**Exploitability:** An authenticated Cacti administrator who can edit device +hostnames can execute arbitrary OS commands as the web server / poller user. +In environments with shared admin access or SSRF, the bar may be lower. + +**Remediation:** Apply `cacti_escapeshellarg()` to `$this->hostname` inside +`clean()`.

PHP's `unserialize()` can +instantiate arbitrary classes with `__wakeup` / `__destruct` gadgets. If an +attacker can write to that table (via SQL injection elsewhere, or compromised +DB) they can achieve code execution. + +**Exploitability:** Requires prior write access to the database. Medium +confidence because the gadget chain depends on loaded classes at the time of +deserialization. + +**Remediation:** Replace `unserialize`/`serialize` with `json_encode`/`json_decode`. +The password array shape is fixed (`['password' => '...']`); JSON is sufficient. + +**TDD Status:** Covered by `ShellInjectionTest::WMI password decoded via unserialize`. + +--- + +### FIND-003 + +| Field | Value | +|---|---| +| Category | SQL Injection | +| Severity | **MEDIUM** | +| Confidence | HIGH | +| File | `functions.php` | +| Lines | 74, 177, 281 | +| Evidence | `db_fetch_row("SELECT * FROM wmi_wql_queries WHERE id = $id")` — `$id` is not cast or parameterised | + +**Description:** Three `db_fetch_row`/`db_fetch_assoc` calls interpolate `$id` +or `$input` directly into query strings without casting to `int` or using +`db_fetch_row_prepared`. If the caller does not sanitise the value before +passing it, SQL injection is possible. + +**Exploitability:** `$id` originates from `get_request_var('id')` which in +Cacti passes through `get_filter_request_var` with `FILTER_VALIDATE_INT` in +most callers — but this is not enforced at the call site in `functions.php`. +Risk is lower than a direct `$_GET` interpolation but still a hardening gap. + +**Remediation:** Cast `$id` to `(int)` at point of use, or replace with +`db_fetch_row_prepared('...

The +Cacti script server passes user-influenced poller arguments; a crafted +`queryname` value can modify the query. + +**Exploitability:** The script server is typically accessible only from the +local poller process, but any poller-level compromise or misconfigured +data input can supply the value.

A Windows host returning a WMI value containing +`` in a property (e.g. `Win32_Process.Description`) +would execute in the operator's browser. + +**Exploitability:** Requires attacker control of a monitored Windows host or +the ability to write to WMI property values.
