CVE-2026-54767 – Unauthenticated Mass Data Destruction (Hardcoded Backdoor) – WeGIA ≤ 3.8.4

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-54767 is a critical vulnerability in WeGIA, an open-source web manager used by charitable institutions to administer members, contributors, and associated personal data. The flaw stems from a hardcoded secret key embedded in a publicly-visible source file that gates a destructive database endpoint, allowing any unauthenticated remote attacker to permanently wipe member and contributor records. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (Critical) and affects all WeGIA versions up to and including 3.8.4.

Technical details

  • Root cause: The endpoint web/html/socio/sistema/controller/deletar_socios.php authorizes destructive operations by comparing a request parameter ($_GET['chave']) against a static, hardcoded secret string embedded directly in the application’s public source code repository (CWE-798: Use of Hard-Coded Credentials).
  • Missing authentication: Beyond the weak hardcoded check, the endpoint performs no session, role, or authentication verification whatsoever before executing privileged database operations (CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function).
  • Trigger conditions: An attacker only needs network access to the WeGIA web application and knowledge of the hardcoded key value (obtainable by reviewing the public source repository) — no valid credentials, session, or user interaction are required.
  • Attack vector: Remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity HTTP request over the network (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N).
  • Impact: Successful exploitation triggers TRUNCATE TABLE operations against the endereco, pessoafisica, pessoajuridica, and socio database tables, resulting in permanent, irreversible destruction of address, individual, organization, and member/contributor records. There is no confidentiality impact, but integrity and availability impacts are both rated High.

Affected software

  • WeGIA (web manager for charitable institutions) versions up to and including 3.8.4
  • Fixed in version 3.8.5, where the vulnerable deletar_socios.php endpoint was removed entirely

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.1 (Critical)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade WeGIA to version 3.8.5 or later, which removes the vulnerable deletar_socios.php endpoint entirely.
  • If immediate patching is not possible:
    • Restrict network access to the WeGIA application to trusted internal networks or VPN only, blocking direct internet exposure.
    • Remove or block access to the socio/sistema/controller/deletar_socios.php path at the web server or reverse proxy/WAF layer.
    • Rotate any credentials or secrets that may have been derived from or stored alongside the exposed hardcoded key.
    • Ensure recent backups of member/contributor database tables exist and are tested for restoration, given the destructive nature of this vulnerability.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
