    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    WeGIA Server | Before 3.3.0

    How the Exploit Works

    The vulnerability stems from the WeGIA server’s lack of validation for the length of the ‘fid’ parameter in HTTP GET requests. Attackers can exploit this by crafting and sending excessively long GET requests to a specific URL on the server. The server processes URLs up to 8,142 characters long, resulting in high resource consumption, elevated latency, timeouts, and read errors. This makes the server susceptible to DoS attacks and potentially allows for system compromise or data leakage.

    Conceptual Example Code

    Here is a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability.

    GET /example_url?fid=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...[up to 8142 characters] HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com

    In this example, the ‘fid’ parameter is filled with an excessively long string, leading to the aforementioned issues.

    Mitigation Guidance
