Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
This advisory addresses a critical vulnerability in WeGIA, a web management system used by charitable institutions. The flaw could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to the unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of sensitive data related to billing, members, employees, permissions, and credentials.
- SQL injection flaw affects charitable management software.
- Data integrity and confidentiality are at high risk.
- Confirm relevance and assess potential exposure to sensitive data.
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
An unauthenticated attacker can interact with a web endpoint on the WeGIA application, sending specially crafted data through form submissions. This data is then directly inserted into a database query without proper sanitization, allowing the attacker to manipulate the database. If successful, this could lead to the exposure or modification of sensitive organizational data, or even the deletion of entire database tables.
- No authentication required.
- Submit malicious form data.
- Full database compromise possible.
