Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 10 Jan 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade LabRedesCefetRJ WeGIA to 3.2.8.

AI-suggested

Immediate upgrade of WeGIA installations to version 3.2.8 or later, where the vulnerability is patched, is the most effective mitigation.
Implement strict input validation and output encoding for all user-supplied data, especially parameters like local_recepcao, to prevent injection of malicious scripts.
Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers, reducing the impact of potential XSS attacks.
Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input handling and sanitization practices.
Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted pages within the application.
Monitor web server logs and application behavior for unusual activities that may indicate attempted exploitation.
Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting WeGIA endpoints.
Ensure proper session management and implement multi-factor authentication to limit the damage from compromised sessions. These measures combined will reduce the risk and impact of exploitation beyond simply applying the patch.

Description

WeGIA is a web manager for charitable institutions. A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the CobrancaController.php endpoint of the WeGIA application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the local_recepcao parameter. The injected scripts are stored on the server and executed automatically whenever the affected page is accessed by users, posing a significant security risk. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.8.

Impact

For European organizations, especially charitable institutions or NGOs using the WeGIA platform, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive user data, including personal information of donors or beneficiaries, potentially violating GDPR and other privacy regulations. The stored XSS could be used to hijack user sessions, enabling attackers to impersonate legitimate users and perform unauthorized transactions or data modifications. This undermines trust in the organization and could result in reputational damage, financial loss, and regulatory penalties. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged to distribute malware or conduct phishing attacks targeting users of the platform. Given the cross-border nature of many charitable organizations in Europe, the impact could extend beyond a single country, affecting multiple stakeholders. The requirement for user interaction (visiting the compromised page) means that social engineering or phishing campaigns could be used to increase exploitation success. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread attacks occur.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
Architecture and Design · Implementation · Attack Surface Reduction
Understand all the potential areas where untrusted inputs can enter your software: parameters or arguments, cookies, anything read from the network, environment variables, reverse DNS lookups, query results, request headers, URL components, e-mail, files, filenames, databases, and any external systems that provide…
