# CVE-2022-46169 PoC: Authentication Bypass and Remote Code Execution
This repository contains a PoC for the CVE-2022-46169 vulnerability, which allows an attacker to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code remotely on the affected system. This vulnerability affects Cacti, version 1.2.22, released on August 18, 2022.
