WeGIA Vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via `extract($_REQUEST)`
Summary
WeGIA Vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via extract($_REQUEST)
Original description
The description as published by the source.
WeGIA is a web manager for charitable institutions. Prior to version 3.6.5, an unsafe use of the extract() function on the $_REQUEST superglobal allows an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite local variables in multiple PHP scripts. This vulnerability can be leveraged to completely bypass authentication checks, allowing unauthorized access to administrative and protected areas of the WeGIA application. Version 3.6.5 fixes the issue.
