WeGIA Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in profile_familiar.php

A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the WeGIA application, specifically within the profile_familiar.php endpoint. This issue allows attackers to inject malicious scripts through the id_dependente parameter. The vulnerability arises from inadequate validation and sanitization of user inputs, enabling the injection of harmful payloads that are executed in the context of the user's browser.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for reflected cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user's browser.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a GET request to the profile_familiar.php endpoint with a crafted id_dependente parameter that includes a script payload, such as <script>alert(1)</script>. The injected script will be executed in the browser, demonstrating the cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Remediation

Users can update to WeGIA version 3.4.3 to address this vulnerability.
