Description

This exploit module leverages a SQLi (CVE-2023-49085) and a LFI (CVE-2023-49084) vulnerability in Cacti versions prior to 1.2.26 to achieve RCE. Authentication is needed and the account must have access to the vulnerable PHP script (`pollers.php`). This is granted by setting the `Sites/Devices/Data` permission in the `General Administration` section.

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.
