How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability exists in the /controle/control.php endpoint of WeGIA, specifically in the descricao parameter. Attackers can manipulate the descricao parameter, which is not correctly sanitized by the application, to inject arbitrary SQL commands. This could allow an attacker to manipulate the database, retrieve sensitive data, modify data or even potentially gain unauthorized access to the system.

Conceptual Example Code

Here’s a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:

POST /controle/control.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
descricao=charitable_institution';DROP TABLE members;--

In this conceptual example, if the SQL injection is successful, it would drop the entire ‘members’ table from the database.

Mitigation Guidance

Users of WeGIA are advised to apply the latest vendor patch which fixes this vulnerability, available in version 3.5.0. In situations where applying the patch is not immediately possible, users are advised to use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation. Regularly updating and patching systems, along with adopting robust security practices, can significantly reduce the risk of such vulnerabilities.
