CVE-2024-53364 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13, specifically within the /users/view-detail.php script. The vulnerability is located in the 'viewid' parameter, which lacks proper input sanitization and validation, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands. This type of injection can manipulate backend database queries, potentially exposing or altering data. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have low privileges (PR:L), but no user interaction (UI:N) is needed, and it can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.4, indicating medium severity, with impacts on confidentiality and integrity but no impact on availability. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability represents a risk for unauthorized data access or modification within the affected system. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation through secure coding practices or temporary protective controls.

The primary impact of this vulnerability is unauthorized disclosure and potential modification of sensitive data stored in the backend database of the Vehicle Parking Management System. Attackers exploiting this flaw could extract user details, parking records, or other confidential information, leading to privacy breaches. Integrity impacts include the possibility of altering records, which could disrupt parking operations or cause fraudulent activities. Although availability is not affected, the compromise of data integrity and confidentiality can undermine trust and operational reliability. Organizations relying on this system, especially those managing large parking facilities or sensitive user data, face reputational damage, regulatory compliance issues, and potential financial losses. The medium severity and ease of exploitation without user interaction increase the urgency for remediation, particularly in environments exposed to untrusted networks.

To mitigate CVE-2024-53364, organizations should immediately review and update the input handling in the /users/view-detail.php script, specifically sanitizing and validating the 'viewid' parameter. Implementing parameterized queries or prepared statements is critical to prevent SQL injection. If source code modification is not immediately feasible, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules targeting SQL injection patterns can provide temporary protection. Conduct thorough code audits across the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection points. Additionally, restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any injection. Monitor logs for suspicious query patterns and unauthorized access attempts. Finally, stay alert for official patches or updates from PHPGURUKUL and apply them promptly once available.
