CVE-2025-26610 Overview
CVE-2025-26610 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability discovered in WeGIA, an open source Web Manager for Institutions with a focus on Portuguese language users. The vulnerability exists in the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint and allows an authorized attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially gaining access to sensitive information stored in the application's database.
Critical Impact
This SQL Injection vulnerability enables attackers with valid credentials to bypass data access controls and execute arbitrary database queries, potentially compromising the confidentiality and integrity of all data managed by the WeGIA application.
Affected Products
- WeGIA versions prior to 3.2.13
- WeGIA Web Manager installations using the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint

Technical Details for CVE-2025-26610
Vulnerability Analysis
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), commonly known as SQL Injection. The flaw exists in the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint within the WeGIA application. When user-supplied input is passed to this endpoint, it is incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization.
The vulnerability requires the attacker to have authenticated access to the WeGIA application (low privilege requirement). Once authenticated, the attacker can craft malicious input containing SQL syntax that, when processed by the vulnerable endpoint, modifies the intended SQL query logic. This can result in unauthorized data retrieval, data modification, or in severe cases, complete database compromise.
The network-accessible nature of this web application means that any authenticated user with network access to the WeGIA instance can potentially exploit this vulnerability without any user interaction required.
Root Cause
The root cause of CVE-2025-26610 is improper input validation and the lack of parameterized queries in the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php file. User-controlled input is directly concatenated into SQL statements rather than being properly sanitized or bound as parameters in prepared statements. This fundamental coding error allows attackers to inject malicious SQL syntax that alters the query's intended behavior.
Attack Vector
The attack vector for this vulnerability is network-based, targeting the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint. An attacker with valid authentication credentials can exploit this vulnerability by:
- Authenticating to the WeGIA application with any valid user account
- Sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint
- Including SQL injection payloads in vulnerable parameters
- Extracting sensitive data or manipulating database contents through the injected queries
The vulnerability allows for high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of both the vulnerable system and potentially connected downstream systems, as indicated by the scope change potential in the vulnerability assessment.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-26610
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual or malformed requests to the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint containing SQL keywords such as UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, or DROP
- Database error messages appearing in application logs or responses
- Unexpected database queries or query patterns in database audit logs
- Anomalous data access patterns from authenticated user sessions
Detection Strategies
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block common SQL injection patterns targeting the WeGIA application
- Enable detailed logging on the web server for all requests to PHP endpoints, particularly restaurar_produto_desocultar.php
- Deploy database activity monitoring to detect unusual query patterns or unauthorized data access
- Configure intrusion detection systems (IDS) to alert on SQL injection attack signatures
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor application logs for HTTP 500 errors or database-related exceptions from the vulnerable endpoint
- Set up alerts for multiple failed or suspicious requests from the same authenticated session
- Review database query logs for queries containing injection patterns or unexpected clauses
- Implement rate limiting and anomaly detection for API endpoints
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-26610
Immediate Actions Required
- Upgrade WeGIA to version 3.2.13 or later immediately
- Review database logs for any evidence of prior exploitation
- Audit user access and revoke unnecessary privileges
- Consider temporarily restricting access to the restaurar_produto_desocultar.php endpoint if immediate patching is not possible
Patch Information
The WeGIA development team has addressed this vulnerability in version 3.2.13. All users are strongly advised to upgrade to this version or later. For detailed information about the security fix, refer to the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-6p7c-9hcx-jpqj.
Workarounds
- There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability according to the vendor advisory
- As a defense-in-depth measure, implement a WAF with SQL injection detection rules in front of the WeGIA application
- Restrict network access to the WeGIA application to trusted IP ranges where possible
- Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application
# Verify WeGIA version after upgrade
grep -r "version" /path/to/wegia/config.php
# Ensure version is 3.2.13 or higher
