CVE-2025-54058
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in WeGIA allows attackers to manipulate database queries through the idatendido_familiares parameter, potentially accessing sensitive information like user data and table structures. All organizations using WeGIA versions before 3.4.6 are affected, particularly charitable institutions that rely on this Portuguese-language web manager.
💻 Affected Systems
- WeGIA
📦 What is this software?
Wegia by Wegia
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including extraction of all sensitive data (personal information, credentials, financial records), potential data destruction, and possible server takeover through SQL injection chaining.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive database information including personal data of beneficiaries, employees, and organizational records, potentially leading to data breaches and privacy violations.
If Mitigated
Limited information disclosure if proper input validation and WAF rules are in place, but SQL injection attempts may still be logged.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection vulnerabilities are typically easy to exploit with standard tools like sqlmap. The advisory suggests authentication may be required, but this should be verified.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 3.4.6
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/LabRedesCefetRJ/WeGIA/security/advisories/GHSA-5pwp-39jc-wxj8
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your current WeGIA installation and database. 2. Download WeGIA version 3.4.6 from the official repository. 3. Replace the vulnerable file /html/funcionario/dependente_editarEndereco.php with the patched version. 4. Restart your web server (Apache/Nginx). 5. Verify the fix by testing the endpoint with SQL injection payloads.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
WAF Rule Implementation
allImplement web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns in the idatendido_familiares parameter
# Example ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:idatendido_familiares "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQLi attempt detected'"
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize the idatendido_familiares parameter before processing
# PHP example: $id = filter_var($_POST['idatendido_familiares'], FILTER_VALIDATE_INT); if($id === false) { die('Invalid input'); }
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate the WeGIA application from other critical systems
- Deploy a web application firewall with SQL injection detection rules specifically for the vulnerable endpoint
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /html/funcionario/dependente_editarEndereco.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the idatendido_familiares parameter (e.g., ' OR '1'='1). Monitor for database errors or unexpected responses.Check Version:
Check the WeGIA version in the application interface or review the source code for version markers. For command line: grep -r "version" /path/to/wegia/ | grep -i "3\."Verify Fix Applied:
After patching, attempt the same SQL injection tests. The application should reject malformed input or return appropriate error messages without database errors.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in POST parameters to /html/funcionario/dependente_editarEndereco.php
- Database error messages containing SQL fragments in web server logs
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by SQL injection patterns
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database query patterns from web server to database
- High volume of requests to the vulnerable endpoint with parameter manipulation
SIEM Query:
source="web_server_logs" AND uri="/html/funcionario/dependente_editarEndereco.php" AND (param="*idatendido_familiares*" AND (value="*OR*" OR value="*UNION*" OR value="*SELECT*" OR value="*--*" OR value="*'*"))
