Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-55168 is a severe cybersecurity vulnerability discovered in the WeGIA open-source web manager, a tool predominantly used by Portuguese-speaking charitable institutions. This vulnerability has grave implications as it could potentially lead to a system compromise or data leakage, especially for these often vulnerable organizations. The vulnerability lies in the web application’s inability to correctly sanitize input in certain fields, leading to a SQL Injection vulnerability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-55168
\nSeverity: Critical (9.8 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of the database could be compromised, leading to potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

WeGIA Web Manager | Prior to version<\/a> 3.4.8<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit works by injecting malicious SQL<\/a> commands into the `id_fichamedica` parameter of the `\/html\/saude\/aplicar_medicamento.php` endpoint. Due to improper input validation<\/a>, these commands are executed directly on the database, allowing an attacker to manipulate data, exfiltrate confidential information, or even execute commands on the underlying system.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP GET request where an attacker uses a SQL Injection<\/a> payload in the `id_fichamedica` parameter:<\/p>\n

GET \/html\/saude\/aplicar_medicamento.php?id_fichamedica=1' OR '1'='1 HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the SQL Injection<\/a> payload `’ OR ‘1’=’1` would cause the database query to return true for all rows, potentially revealing all medical records in the database.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
The vulnerability has been patched in WeGIA Web Manager version<\/a> 3.4.8. Users are strongly advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability<\/a>. If immediate patching is not feasible, temporary mitigation may be achieved by implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and block attempted exploits of this vulnerability<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
