rConfig install Command Execution

This module exploits an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in rConfig versions 3.9.2 and prior. The 'install' directory is not automatically removed after installation, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via the 'ajaxServerSettingsChk.php' file as the web server user. This module has been tested successfully on rConfig version 3.9.2 on CentOS 7.7.1908 (x64).

Mitigation:

Upgrade to a patched version of rConfig.
