Official Description
rConfig 3.9.5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a crafted request to the ajaxGetFileByPath.php script containing hexadecimal encoded "dot dot" sequences (%2f..%2f) in the path parameter to view arbitrary files on the system.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2020-15712 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
