CVE-2017-16660 describes a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Cacti version 1.1.27, affecting authenticated administrators. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code by manipulating the Log Path to be under the web root and then injecting code via the Client-ip header in a remote_agent.php request. Rated 7.2 HIGH on CVSS, this flaw has a network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the potential for a complete system compromise remains high if exploited.
