CVE-2020-10220 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in rConfig through version 3.9.4. The vulnerability exists in the web interface, specifically in the 'commands.inc.php' file, where the 'searchColumn' parameter is not properly sanitized. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries, leading to the extraction of sensitive information from the backend database, including usernames, password hashes, and device credentials.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (rConfig_rce.py) and a README.md. The exploit targets rConfig version 3.9.4, combining SQL injection and command injection vulnerabilities. The script automates the process of extracting the database name and user credentials (including password hashes) via SQL injection, attempts to crack the admin password hash using hashcat and the rockyou wordlist, and, if successful, uses the credentials to perform command injection via a vulnerable search endpoint to spawn a reverse shell to the attacker's machine. The script requires Python 3, the requests library, hashcat, and appropriate wordlists/rules. The README provides detailed usage instructions and context. The main attack vectors are network-based, exploiting web endpoints on the target rConfig instance. The exploit is operational, providing a working end-to-end attack chain from information disclosure to remote code execution.
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.
