CVE-2025-7482 Overview
CVE-2025-7482 is a SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13. The flaw resides in /users/print.php, where the vid parameter is concatenated into a SQL query without proper sanitization. An authenticated remote attacker can manipulate the vid argument to inject arbitrary SQL statements against the backend database.
The vulnerability is classified under [CWE-74] (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component). The exploit details have been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation against exposed deployments.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can manipulate database queries through the vid parameter, enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or extraction from the parking management database.
Affected Products
- PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System 1.13

Technical Details for CVE-2025-7482
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability affects the print functionality used by authenticated users of the Vehicle Parking Management System. The vid (vehicle ID) parameter passed to /users/print.php flows directly into a SQL query string. The application does not parameterize the query or validate the input type, allowing attackers to break out of the original query context.
Exploitation requires only low-level authenticated access through the network. Attackers can append UNION SELECT statements, boolean-based payloads, or time-based blind injection techniques to extract data from any table the database user can access. Given that PHPGurukul applications typically run with broad database privileges, this often includes user credentials, vehicle records, and administrative data.
Root Cause
The root cause is the direct concatenation of the user-supplied vid parameter into a SQL statement without prepared statements or input sanitization. PHP code in /users/print.php constructs queries using string interpolation rather than using parameterized queries via PDO or MySQLi prepared statements.
Attack Vector
An authenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /users/print.php with a malicious vid parameter value. The payload can use standard SQL injection techniques such as UNION-based extraction, error-based exploitation, or time-based blind injection. Refer to the GitHub Issue on myCVE for proof-of-concept details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-7482
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to /users/print.php containing SQL metacharacters such as single quotes, UNION, SELECT, SLEEP(, or -- in the vid parameter.
- Unusually long or URL-encoded values in the vid query string parameter.
- Database error messages returned in HTTP responses from the print.php endpoint.
- Spikes in database query latency originating from the parking management application.
Detection Strategies
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to inspect query string parameters for SQL injection signatures on the /users/print.php path.
- Enable database query logging and alert on queries originating from the parking management application that include UNION, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, or stacked queries.
- Review web server access logs for non-numeric values in the vid parameter when the application expects integer identifiers.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward web server and database logs to a centralized SIEM for correlation and anomaly detection.
- Monitor authentication logs for compromised user accounts that may be leveraged to access the vulnerable endpoint.
- Track outbound data volumes from the database server to identify potential exfiltration following successful injection.
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-7482
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the Vehicle Parking Management System to trusted IP ranges until a fix is applied.
- Disable or remove the /users/print.php endpoint if the print functionality is not business-critical.
- Audit application user accounts and rotate credentials for any account that may have been compromised.
- Review database audit logs for evidence of prior exploitation attempts targeting the vid parameter.
Patch Information
No official vendor patch is referenced in the NVD entry at the time of publication. Organizations should monitor PHPGurukul for security updates. Refer to VulDB #316132 for ongoing tracking of remediation status.
Workarounds
- Apply a WAF rule to block requests to /users/print.php where the vid parameter contains non-numeric characters.
- Modify /users/print.php to cast the vid parameter to an integer before query construction, for example using intval($_GET['vid']).
- Replace string-concatenated SQL with prepared statements using PDO or MySQLi parameter binding.
- Configure the database account used by the application with least-privilege access, restricting it to only the tables and operations required for normal operation.
