CVE-2025-7484: PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking System SQLi

CVE-2025-7484 Overview

CVE-2025-7484 is a SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System 1.13. The flaw resides in the /admin/view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php script, where the viewid parameter is passed directly into a SQL query without proper sanitization. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can manipulate this parameter to inject arbitrary SQL statements. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network, and exploit details have been disclosed publicly. The issue is classified under [CWE-74] (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component).

Critical Impact
Authenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary SQL queries against the backend database through the viewid parameter, exposing parking and vehicle records to unauthorized read, modify, or delete operations.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-7484

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability exists in the administrative interface of PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System 1.13. The file /admin/view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php accepts a viewid GET parameter and concatenates it into a SQL statement without parameterized queries or input validation. This allows an attacker to break out of the intended query context and append arbitrary SQL clauses.

Because the exploit details have been publicly disclosed, opportunistic attackers can replicate the attack with minimal effort. The current EPSS probability is 0.318% (percentile 23.46), indicating limited observed exploitation activity at this time.

Root Cause

The root cause is missing input sanitization and the absence of prepared statements when handling the viewid parameter. User-supplied input flows directly into a dynamically constructed SQL query, fitting the [CWE-74] pattern of improper neutralization of special elements before passing them to a downstream interpreter.

Attack Vector

Exploitation requires network access to the admin interface and a valid low-privileged administrative session. The attacker issues a crafted HTTP request to /admin/view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php with a malicious payload in the viewid parameter. Successful injection can return arbitrary records, modify database content, or be chained with database functions to escalate impact. Refer to the GitHub Issue Discussion and VulDB Entry #316134 for additional technical context.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-7484

Indicators of Compromise

HTTP requests to /admin/view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php containing SQL meta-characters such as single quotes, UNION, SELECT, --, or OR 1=1 in the viewid parameter.
Unexpected database errors in application logs referencing the view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php endpoint.
Anomalous outbound database queries originating from the web application user account.

Detection Strategies

Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules that flag SQL injection patterns targeting the viewid query parameter.
Enable verbose query logging on the MySQL backend and alert on queries containing tautologies, stacked statements, or INFORMATION_SCHEMA access from the application user.
Correlate authentication logs with administrative endpoint access to identify abuse from compromised admin accounts.

Monitoring Recommendations

Monitor web server access logs for repeated requests to /admin/view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php with abnormally long or encoded viewid values.
Track database connections for spikes in row counts returned or unusual table access patterns.
Alert on administrative session activity originating from unexpected IP addresses or geolocations.

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-7484

Immediate Actions Required

Restrict access to the /admin/ directory using IP allow-listing or VPN-only access until a vendor patch is available.
Rotate administrative credentials and review recent admin session activity for signs of abuse.
Deploy WAF signatures that block SQL injection payloads targeting the viewid parameter.

Patch Information

No vendor patch has been published in the referenced advisories at the time of writing. Monitor the PHP Gurukul Blog for updates. If an updated release becomes available, apply it across all instances of Vehicle Parking Management System 1.13.

Workarounds

Modify /admin/view-outgoingvehicle-detail.php to cast viewid to an integer before use, for example using intval($_GET['viewid']) in PHP.
Replace dynamic SQL concatenation with parameterized queries using PDO prepared statements or mysqli_prepare.
Apply database-level least privilege so the application account cannot execute DROP, ALTER, or cross-database queries.

bash

# Example WAF rule (ModSecurity) to block SQLi in viewid
SecRule ARGS:viewid "@rx (?i)(union(\s|\+)+select|--|';|/\*|or\s+1=1)" \
    "id:1007484,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'CVE-2025-7484 SQLi attempt on viewid'"
