This vulnerability is classified as Open Redirect (CWE-601), which allows attackers to redirect users to malicious websites via URL manipulation. Cacti is an open source operational monitoring and fault management framework. In Cacti 1.2.24, users with console access can be redirected to an arbitrary website after a change password performed via a specifically crafted URL. The auth_changepassword.php file accepts ref as a URL parameter and reflects it in the form used to perform the change password. It's value is used to perform a redirect via header PHP function.
