auth_login.php in Cacti before 1.0.0 allows remote authenticated users who use web authentication to bypass intended access restrictions by logging in as a user not in the cacti database, because the guest user is not considered. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-2313.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-10700 is an access-control flaw in Cacti before 1.0.0. A remote user who can authenticate through web authentication may bypass intended restrictions by logging in as a username not present in Cacti’s database. The sources do not provide a CVSS score or evidence of active exploitation. Organizations running Cacti before 1.0.0 with web authentication enabled are the relevant exposure group. Risk appears tied to authenticated remote users, not unauthenticated internet users, based on the CVE description. Prioritize if legacy Cacti is still deployed, especially where web authentication is enabled. This is not supported as actively exploited in the provided sources, but it affects access control in a monitoring platform and should not remain unresolved. Mitigation focus: Identify any Cacti deployments older than 1.0.0.; Upgrade affected Cacti instances to 1.0.0 or later.; Review Cacti 1.0.0 release notes and vendor guidance..
