- CVE-2025-66399High
Cacti prior to 1.2.29 has an input-validation flaw in SNMP device configuration. An authenticated user can supply crafted SNMP community strings containing control characters (including newlines) that are accepted, stored verbatim, and later embedded into backend SNMP operations, potentially leading to unintended command execution with Cacti process privileges in certain environments.
