rConfig, the open source network device configuration management tool, Vulnerable to Local File Inclusion

rConfig, the open source network device configuration management tool, is vulnerable to local file inclusion in /lib/crud/downloadFile.php. downloadFile.php allows authenticated users to download any file on the server. This is because downloadFile.php does not check the download_file parameter before it uses it. It merely opens and sends the file in the parameter to the user. As long as the account running the web server has access to it, rConfig will open it and send it.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the download_file parameter is properly validated before being used.
