An issue was discovered in rConfig 3.9.3. A remote authenticated user can directly execute system commands by sending a GET request to ajaxArchiveFiles.php because the path parameter is passed to the exec function without filtering, which can lead to command execution.
CVE-2019-19509
Score elevated to 9.0 because EPSS predicts 72% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.6% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 8.8 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 72%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
