CVE-2019-19509 is an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in rConfig version 3.9.3 and earlier. The vulnerability exists in the ajaxArchiveFiles.php script, where the 'path' parameter is passed directly to the exec function without proper sanitization or filtering. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted GET request, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the server with the privileges of the web server process (typically the Apache user).

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/rconfig_ajaxarchivefiles_rce.rb) targeting rConfig 3.9.x (specifically 3.9.3 and 3.9.4) network configuration management software. The exploit chains two vulnerabilities: a SQL injection in /commands.inc.php to create a new admin user, and a command injection in the 'path' parameter of /lib/ajaxHandlers/ajaxArchiveFiles.php to achieve remote code execution. The module automates the process of creating a temporary admin user, authenticating, executing a payload (such as a reverse shell), and cleaning up by deleting the created user. The attack is performed over HTTPS (default port 443) and does not require prior credentials due to the SQL injection. The exploit is weaponized, allowing the attacker to specify any Metasploit payload, and is suitable for operational use. The code is well-structured, with clear separation of steps and cleanup routines. The main endpoints involved are /login.php, /commands.inc.php, /lib/crud/userprocess.php, and /lib/ajaxHandlers/ajaxArchiveFiles.php.
