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: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
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 16 Jan 2026
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 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 WeGIA and labredescefetrj/WeGIA to 3.6.2.

AI-suggested

The primary mitigation is to upgrade all WeGIA instances to version 3.6.2 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. Organizations should also implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data, especially in dropdowns and form fields, to prevent injection of malicious scripts. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on web application input handling. Monitor logs and user activity for unusual behavior related to the vulnerable endpoint. Educate users about the risks of XSS and encourage cautious handling of unexpected content. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious payloads targeting the affected parameter. Finally, maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any exploitation attempts.

Description

CVE-2026-23724 is a medium severity stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WeGIA web management application for charitable institutions, specifically affecting versions prior to 3.6.2. The vulnerability exists in the html/atendido/cadastro_ocorrencia.php endpoint where user input is not properly sanitized before being rendered inside a dropdown selection, allowing malicious scripts to be stored and executed in users' browsers. Exploitation requires network access and low privileges but no user interaction, potentially leading to confidentiality breaches such as session hijacking or data exposure. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.3 and is fixed in version 3.6.2.

Impact

For European organizations using WeGIA, particularly those managing charitable or social service operations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as session tokens or personal data through malicious script execution in users' browsers. This could facilitate further attacks like account hijacking or phishing. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can undermine trust in the platform and lead to reputational damage. Given the nature of WeGIA’s user base, exploitation could also impact vulnerable populations served by these institutions. The risk is heightened in environments where multiple users access the application and where security awareness may be limited. Additionally, the lack of required user interaction means that exploitation can occur silently, increasing the threat to European entities relying on this software.

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.
