DescriptionGitHub Advisory

WeGIA is a web manager for charitable institutions. Prior to version 3.6.5, an unsafe use of the extract() function on the $_REQUEST superglobal allows an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite local variables in multiple PHP scripts. This vulnerability can be leveraged to completely bypass authentication checks, allowing unauthorized access to administrative and protected areas of the WeGIA application. Version 3.6.5 fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass via unsafe extract() function in WeGIA before 3.6.5. The extract() call on user-controlled data allows overwriting authentication variables. EPSS 0.7% with PoC available.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-288 authentication bypass through PHP extract() function. User-controlled input overwrites authentication-related variables, bypassing access controls.
