Cacti color filter authenticated SQLi to RCE
Description
This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in Cacti 1.2.12 and before. An admin can exploit the filter variable within color.php to pull arbitrary values as well as conduct stacked queries. With stacked queries, the path_php_binary value is changed within the settings table to a payload, and an update is called to execute the payload. After calling the payload, the value is reset.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
