    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

    Users are advised to update their WeGIA server to version 3.3.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. If updating is not immediately possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation against potential attacks.

    How the Exploit Works

    The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation on the WeGIA server. Specifically, the server does not properly validate the length of the ‘errorstr’ parameter in HTTP GET requests. When an excessively long request is received (up to 8,142 characters), the server attempts to process it, leading to significant resource consumption, increased latency, timeouts, and read errors. Ultimately, the server becomes susceptible to DoS attacks, where an attacker could effectively overwhelm and disable the server by repeatedly sending such long requests.

    Conceptual Example Code

    An attacker might exploit the vulnerability by sending an HTTP GET request similar to the below:

    GET /vulnerable/path?errorstr=[8,142 characters of data] HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com

    The above request would cause the server to consume excessive resources, resulting in latency, timeouts, and potentially a DoS situation.

    Mitigation Guidance

    Users are advised to apply the vendor patch immediately, upgrading their WeGIA server to version 3.3.0 or later.
