RaXnet Cacti 0.5/0.6/0.8 - 'Config_Settings.php' Remote File Inclusion
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14028/info
RaXnet Cacti is prone to a remote file include vulnerability.
The problem presents itself specifically when an attacker passes the location of a remote attacker-specified script through the 'config_settings.php' script.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary server-side script code on an affected computer with the privileges of the Web server process. This may facilitate unauthorized access.
