How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability lies in the /html/funcionario/profile_funcionario.php endpoint of the WeGIA web application. More specifically, the ‘id_funcionario’ parameter isn’t properly sanitized or validated before being used in a SQL query. As a result, an attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject arbitrary SQL commands. Since no authentication is required, this vulnerability is easily exploitable.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. In this case, the attacker is injecting an SQL statement (`OR ‘1’=’1`) into the ‘id_funcionario’ field:

GET /html/funcionario/profile_funcionario.php?id_funcionario=' OR '1'='1 HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-website.com

When this request is processed by the web server, the SQL statement `OR ‘1’=’1` is inserted into the SQL query, potentially allowing the attacker to bypass authentication mechanisms, view sensitive data, or even execute commands on the underlying system.

Mitigation and Solution

The vulnerability has been fixed in version 3.4.3 of the WeGIA web manager. Users are strongly advised to update to this version or later. As an interim solution, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help mitigate the potential attack, but these are not long-term solutions and should only be used temporarily until the patch can be applied.
