Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

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: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 18 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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.

AI-suggested

Organizations should promptly upgrade WeGIA installations to version 3.4.6 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious requests containing script tags or unusual payloads in the 'err' parameter. Input validation and output encoding should be enforced on all user-supplied data, especially parameters reflected in responses. Security teams should conduct code reviews and penetration testing focused on XSS vectors in the application. User awareness training is recommended to reduce the risk of users clicking on malicious links. Additionally, implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help mitigate the impact of XSS by restricting the execution of unauthorized scripts. Monitoring web server logs for unusual request patterns targeting 'personalizacao_imagem.php' can help detect exploitation attempts. Finally, organizations should ensure session cookies are marked HttpOnly and Secure to reduce the risk of theft via XSS.

Description

WeGIA is an open source web manager with a focus on the Portuguese language and charitable institutions. A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in versions prior to 3.4.6 in the `personalizacao_imagem.php` endpoint of the WeGIA application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts in the `err` parameter. Version 3.4.6 fixes the issue.

Impact

For European organizations using WeGIA, particularly charitable institutions or NGOs serving Portuguese-speaking communities or operating multilingual platforms, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to user data confidentiality. Attackers could craft malicious links that, when clicked by legitimate users, execute scripts in their browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or phishing attacks. This could damage the trustworthiness of the organization, lead to data breaches involving personal or donor information, and cause reputational harm. Since WeGIA is focused on charitable institutions, the impact could extend to vulnerable populations relying on these services. Additionally, the medium severity score and ease of exploitation without authentication make it a practical threat. European organizations with multilingual or Portuguese language support, or those collaborating with Portuguese-speaking partners, may be more likely to deploy WeGIA and thus be exposed. The lack of integrity or availability impact limits the threat to confidentiality, but the potential for data leakage and user session compromise remains a concern.

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.
