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

The CVE-2025-55171 is a security vulnerability found in the WeGIA open-source web manager. This report discusses the impact of this vulnerability on any organization using versions prior to WeGIA 3.4.8. The vulnerability allows an anonymous attacker to delete image files without proper authentication. This could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-55171
\nSeverity: High (7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise and potential data leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

WeGIA | Prior to 3.4.8<\/p>\n

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

The vulnerability exists due to an improper authentication check in the WeGIA web manager’s endpoint \/html\/personalizacao_remover.php. This allows an anonymous attacker to delete any image files by defining imagem_0 as the image id to delete.<\/p>\n

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

Given the nature of the vulnerability, an attacker could exploit it using a simple HTTP DELETE request. Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

DELETE \/html\/personalizacao_remover.php HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nimagem_0={Image_id_to_delete}<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, {Image_id_to_delete} would be the identifier of the image that the attacker wishes to delete.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the patch provided by the vendor in version 3.4.8. As a temporary mitigation, users could also employ a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor and block malicious requests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
