**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Cacti version 1.1.27
**Description**
The issue allows remote authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files. This can be achieved by modifying the Log Path to point to a private directory and then making a request to "clog.php?filename=" with the desired file, such as 'filename=passwd' to read '/etc/passwd'.
**Recommendations**
For Cacti version 1.1.27, restrict access to the clog.php file and limit the ability to modify the Log Path to prevent unauthorized file reading. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the `filename` parameter in the clog.php request to minimize the risk of exploitation.
