CVE-2026-39938 identifies an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability affecting Cacti, an open-source performance and fault management framework. This flaw is present in versions 1.2.30 and earlier of the software. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation within the `graph_theme` and `rrdtool` IPC serialization components.
