An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-16661 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cacti Cacti. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16661/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16661/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16661","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16661/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16661","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-16661","GHSA-gf56-7m3m-298f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cacti monitoring tool","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files via path traversal in the log viewer, exposing sensitive system data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cacti","vendor":"cacti"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Cacti 1.1.27 allows remote authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files by placing the Log Path into a private directory, and then making a clog.php?filename= request, as demonstrated by filename=passwd (with a Log Path under /etc) to read /etc/passwd.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16661","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cacti:cacti","products":["cacti:cacti"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16663"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16660"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti Command Injection","id":"CVE-2022-46169","kev_date_added":"2023-02-16","published":"2022-12-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti: Pre-authentication SQL injection via rfilter RLIKE clause in graph_view.php","id":"CVE-2026-39893","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti: Unauthenticated RCE on Graph Image","id":"CVE-2026-39938","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cacti has Pre-Authentication SQL Injection via unanchored FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP in graph_view.php","id":"CVE-2026-39955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unauthenticated SQL Injection in graph_view.php in Cacti","id":"CVE-2023-39361","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Cati","id":"CVE-2022-0730","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files via path traversal in the log viewer, exposing sensitive system data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16661/"}
