Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
WeGIA is a web manager for charitable institutions. In versions prior to 3.7.3, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows an authenticated user to inject malicious JavaScript into the "Etapas de um Processo" (html/atendido/etapa_processo.php) page, which is executed when user access the the page, enabling session hijacking and account takeover. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.7.3.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WeGIA versions prior to 3.7.3 allows authenticated users to inject malicious JavaScript into the 'Etapas de um Processo' page (html/atendido/etapa_processo.php). The injected payload persists and executes whenever users access the page, enabling session hijacking and potential account takeover.

MitigationUpgrade to WeGIA version 3.7.3 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement output encoding and input validation on the etapa_processo.php page to neutralize malicious script injection.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm WeGIA version
    Locate the version file or header in the WeGIA installation (commonly in a config file, README, or application footer) and compare it to the affected range (versions prior to 3.7.3)
    Affected if The installed version is 3.7.2 or lower
  2. Verify vulnerable file exists
    Check for the presence of html/atendido/etapa_processo.php in the WeGIA web root directory
    Affected if The file exists and the version is prior to 3.7.3
  3. Confirm authenticated access to the feature
    Log in to WeGIA and navigate to the 'Etapas de um Processo' page (typically under the atendimento or processo module)
    Affected if The page is accessible to your authenticated user account and the application version is prior to 3.7.3
  4. Inspect page for existing XSS payloads
    View the page source or interact with form fields in the 'Etapas de um Processo' section; check if user-supplied data is rendered without proper encoding
    Affected if The page accepts input and reflects it back unescaped in the browser, indicating the vulnerability is present and exploitable

You are affected if WeGIA version is prior to 3.7.3 AND you have the vulnerable etapa_processo.php file accessible to authenticated users in your environment.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade to WeGIA version 3.7.3 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement output encoding and input validation on the etapa_processo.php page to neutralize malicious script injection.

Recommended fix High confidence

WeGIA version 3.7.3

  1. Backup the current WeGIA installation and database before proceeding with any changes
  2. Download WeGIA version 3.7.3 from the official GitHub repository or distribution source
  3. Replace the existing WeGIA files with the files from version 3.7.3, preserving configuration files as needed
  4. Verify that the html/atendido/etapa_processo.php file has been updated with the fix
  5. Test the 'Etapas de um Processo' page by attempting to inject a benign XSS payload (e.g., <script>alert('XSS')</script>) to confirm the vulnerability is patched
  6. Monitor the application logs for any errors following the upgrade
Caveat Review release notes for version 3.7.3 to check for any changes that may affect existing functionality or require configuration adjustments
