6.1 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WeGIA's configuracao_geral.php endpoint via the msg_c parameter. Attackers can inject malicious scripts that execute in victims' browsers when they visit crafted URLs. This affects all WeGIA users running vulnerable versions.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • WeGIA
Versions: Versions before 3.2.8
Operating Systems: All
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All deployments with the vulnerable endpoint accessible are affected.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers steal session cookies, perform account takeover, redirect users to malicious sites, or perform actions on behalf of authenticated users.

🟠

Likely Case

Session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement of the application interface through injected scripts.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if input validation and output encoding are properly implemented, though some script execution may still occur.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) but is straightforward via URL parameter manipulation.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 3.2.8

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/nilsonLazarin/WeGIA/security/advisories/GHSA-xrjq-57mq-4hf8

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Backup current installation. 2. Download version 3.2.8 from official repository. 3. Replace vulnerable files with patched versions. 4. Verify functionality.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rule

all

Block malicious script patterns in the msg_c parameter

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement server-side validation to sanitize msg_c parameter

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Restrict access to configuracao_geral.php endpoint using network ACLs or authentication
  • Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate script execution

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test by accessing configuracao_geral.php?msg_c=<script>alert('XSS')</script> and checking if script executes

Check Version:

Check WeGIA version in admin interface or read version file if available

Verify Fix Applied:

After patching, repeat the test; script should not execute and input should be properly encoded

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual length or script patterns in msg_c parameter in access logs
  • Multiple failed attempts with script payloads

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing script tags in msg_c parameter
  • Unusual redirects from WeGIA application

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="*configuracao_geral.php*" AND (msg_c="*script*" OR msg_c="*javascript:*")
