Issue with passwords in WMI plugin

[Elix]

Dears,

latest WMI plugin installed in Cacti 1.2.5. Works smoothly except issues highlighted in another thread and when using passwords in a WMI query that contains a dollar character ($). Utilizing such password, regardless if stored in "WMI Queries | Authentication" or used in "WMI Query Tool", leads to an authentication failure against the given host. Executing exactly the same query with identical parameters from a command line (WMIC4.0.0TP4) runs smoothly so that the wmic binary can be excluded as root cause.

Any help on this appreciated!

Thanks,
Elix

Based of your other post, again this probably needs reporting.

Likely an escapeshellarg() is needed somewhere. Have you logged this to GitHub?

[Elix]

Both issues reported on github now. Thank you for your attention!

I did a code review yesterday, and the password is escaped. Could you provide an example of the raw command as escaped and upload it. Don't need to see the output, just the command.

Issues have already been solved by netniV and cigamit with commit 0b0ca1a.

Thanks again to everybody for solving the issue that fast!
