No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

rConfig before 3.9.5 allows command injection by sending a crafted GET request to lib/crud/search.crud.php since the nodeId parameter is passed directly to the exec function without being escaped.
