CVE-2026-46531 Details
Description
Cacti is an open source performance and fault management framework. From version 1.2.27 to before version 1.2.31, Cacti contains an authenticated stored second-order SQL injection in the automation tree rule item handler. A user holding the Automation realm (default General Administration role) can persist an arbitrary SQL fragment in the automation_tree_rule_items.field column. The fragment is later concatenated directly into a SELECT ... AS source FROM ... clause in lib/api_automation.php :: create_all_header_nodes() and executed when an administrator triggers automation via the standard graphs.php?action=actions&drp_action=8 ("Apply Automation Rules") bulk action. The result of the injected SELECT is written into graph_tree_items.title and rendered in the Cacti tree UI, providing a direct exfiltration channe. This issue has been patched in version 1.2.31.
A stored second-order SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Cacti versions 1.2.27 prior to 1.2.31. The issue resides in the automation tree rule item handler, where a user with the Automation realm (default General Administration role) can inject arbitrary SQL fragments into the automation_tree_rule_items.field column. These fragments are later executed as part of a SELECT statement when an administrator applies automation rules via the Cacti UI. The injected SQL is executed without proper validation, allowing for manipulation of the database query. This vulnerability has been patched in Cacti version 1.2.31.
Users are advised to update to Cacti version 1.2.31, where this vulnerability has been patched.
