Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200506-20
(Cacti: Several vulnerabilities)
Cacti fails to properly sanitize input which can lead to SQL injection
as well as PHP file inclusion.

arbitrary code with the permissions of the web server. A possible hacker
could exploit the SQL injection to gain information from the database.
Only systems with register_globals set to "On" are vulnerable to the
