An issue was discovered in rConfig 3.9.3. The install script updates the /etc/sudoers file for rconfig specific tasks. After an rConfig specific Apache configuration update, apache has high privileges for some binaries. This can be exploited by an attacker to bypass local security restrictions.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
