Using htaccess in addition to the built-in Cacti auth might be
helpful.  What version of Cacti were you running?  

Unfortunately I had to not limit access to Cacti, as I had to connect to it from different IP addresses. I was running Cacti 0.8.6h from dag.wieers.com. I couldn't get 0.8.6j to work for some reason, so I had to fall back to 0.8.6h. For reference, here's what error_log had with regards to the exploited Cacti:

Something like
mod_security might be helpful as well.

Thanks Dave, I'll look into that later. I still have a lot of investigating and testing to do with this.
