WeGIA is an open source web manager with a focus on the Portuguese language and charitable institutions. Prior to version 3.4.8, a path traversal vulnerability was discovered in the WeGIA application, html/socio/sistema/download_remessa.php endpoint. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to local files in the server and sensitive information stored in config.php. config.php contains information that could allow direct access to the database. This issue has been patched in version 3.4.8.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
