Overview
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has recently identified a significant vulnerability in WeGIA, a widely used web manager platform for charitable institutions. Tagged as CVE-2025-57761, the issue lies in the potential for SQL Injection attacks in versions of the software prior to the 3.4.10 update. This vulnerability matters because it can lead to a full compromise of the system’s database, leading to potential data leaks and unauthorized access to sensitive data, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability is due to inadequate input validation on the /html/funcionario/dependente_remover.php endpoint, specifically the id_funcionario parameter. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL queries that are executed by the application, enabling them to execute arbitrary SQL commands. As a result, an attacker can potentially access, modify, or even delete data in the database, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited, using a HTTP request with a malicious SQL payload:
POST /html/funcionario/dependente_remover.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "id_funcionario": "1; DROP TABLE users;" }In this example, the id_funcionario parameter is manipulated to include a SQL command (‘DROP TABLE users;’) that would delete the ‘users’ table from the database. This is a simple demonstration and actual attacks can be much more complex and damaging.
Recommended Mitigation
To protect your systems against this vulnerability, apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. Upgrade your WeGIA to version 3.4.10 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block SQL Injection attacks as a temporary mitigation measure. However, these measures are not foolproof and upgrading to a patched version of the software is the most reliable way to secure your system against this vulnerability.
