Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier does not perform proper input validation to protect against common attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or SQL by sending a legitimate value in a POST request or cookie, then specifying the attack string in the URL, which causes the get_request_var function to return the wrong value in the $_REQUEST variable, which is cleansed while the original malicious $_GET value remains unmodified, as demonstrated in (1) graph_image.php and (2) graph.php.
