"The version of rConfig installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code executionvulnerability, as 
follows:

  - The flaw exists due to insufficient input validation in the userAdmin.inc.php component, which allows an 
  unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files to the server. By exploiting this, a remote attacker can execute 
  arbitrary PHP code in the context of the web server, effectively gaining full control of the affected system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
