id: CVE-2019-16662

info:
  name: rConfig 3.9.2 - Remote Code Execution
  author: pikpikcu
  severity: critical
  description: rConfig 3.9.2 is susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can directly execute system commands by sending a GET request to ajaxServerSettingsChk.php because the rootUname parameter is passed to the exec function without filtering, which can lead to command execution.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access, data theft, and complete compromise of the affected system.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to a patched version of rConfig (3.9.3 or later) or apply the vendor-supplied patch to mitigate this vulnerability.
