Description

Cacti is an open source performance and fault management framework. Some of the data stored in automation_tree_rules.php is not thoroughly checked and is used to concatenate the SQL statement in build_rule_item_filter() function from lib/api_automation.php, resulting in SQL injection. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.29.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
