Executive brief
WeGIA, a web-based management platform for charitable institutions, contains a security flaw that allows attackers to redirect users to malicious websites. By tricking a user into clicking a specially crafted link that appears to belong to the trusted WeGIA domain, an attacker can send them to a fraudulent site designed to steal login credentials or distribute malware. This vulnerability can damage the reputation of the institution and lead to account takeovers if staff or administrators are targeted.
Technical details
An open redirect vulnerability exists in WeGIA versions prior to 3.6.9 due to insufficient validation of the 'nextPage' GET parameter in the /WeGIA/controle/control.php endpoint. The flaw is triggered when the 'metodo' parameter is set to 'listarTodos' or 'listarId_Nome' and 'nomeClasse' is set to 'OrigemControle'. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a URL that redirects a victim to an arbitrary external domain. This is primarily used in phishing campaigns to lend credibility to malicious links by utilizing the trusted application domain. The issue has been resolved in version 3.6.9.
