Enumeration

Cacti is identified by its web interface under /cacti/ and its version string in the page and changelog, and the version is decisive because its remote-code-execution vulnerabilities are version-specific. Reading the exact build directs the choice of exploit, including whether an unauthenticated command-injection path is present.

Cacti's web interface sits under /cacti/ and exposes the product and version in the login page, the footer, and the bundled CHANGELOG. The version is the decisive fact, because Cacti's command-injection and SQL-injection vulnerabilities, including unauthenticated ones, are specific to particular builds. Reading the exact version first tells you which exploit chain applies and whether an unauthenticated remote-code-execution path (such as the one in the remote-agent handling) is present on this instance.

bash
curl -sk https://<target>/cacti/ | grep -ioE 'Version [0-9.]+'
curl -sk https://<target>/cacti/CHANGELOG | head                 # often readable, exact version
curl -sk https://<target>/cacti/include/cacti_version            # version file in some builds

Exploitation notes#

  • The version maps directly to the applicable known exploits; Cacti's RCE bugs are version-specific, so fingerprint precisely (the CHANGELOG or version file gives it exactly).
  • Determine whether an unauthenticated path applies to this build (some command-injection flaws need no login), which changes whether you need credentials first.
  • The /cacti/ path and readable CHANGELOG/version file make fingerprinting easy and unauthenticated.
  • Route to the exploit chains or, with access, to credential harvesting.
