CVE-2024-29895 is a command injection vulnerability in the Cacti 1.3.x development branch. The flaw is present in cmd_realtime.php, where the poller_id value used in command execution is sourced from PHP's argv handling rather than being safely constrained before use. When PHP is configured with register_argc_argv enabled, an attacker can influence $_SERVER['argv'] via the request URL, causing attacker-controlled input to reach command execution logic. Under these conditions, an unauthenticated remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server hosting Cacti.

2 valid exploits after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos.
This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-29895, a remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability in Cacti 1.3.x DEV branch. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (poc.py) and is accompanied by a README.md file that explains the vulnerability and usage instructions. The exploit targets the '/cacti/cmd_realtime.php' endpoint, exploiting a command injection flaw in the 'poller_id' parameter via a crafted GET request. The script allows the user to specify a command to execute on the target server and can process either a single URL or a list of URLs from a file. The exploit checks for the presence of the vulnerable endpoint and attempts to verify the Cacti version before launching the attack. The main capability is unauthenticated remote command execution on vulnerable Cacti instances. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the endpoint is relative and user-supplied. The repository is structured simply, with the main logic in 'poc.py' and documentation in 'README.md'.
This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-29895, a remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability in Cacti 1.3.x DEV. The exploit targets the '/cacti/cmd_realtime.php' endpoint, which is vulnerable to unauthenticated command injection when the PHP 'register_argc_argv' option is enabled. The main script, 'CVE-2024-29895.py', allows the user to specify a target URL and an arbitrary shell command, which is then injected into the vulnerable endpoint via a crafted HTTP GET request. The script includes logic to check the Cacti version, validate the presence of the vulnerable endpoint, and display the output of the executed command. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions, affected versions, and search dorks for finding vulnerable instances. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the exploit is generic and requires the user to supply the target URL. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not include weaponized or framework-level features.
