Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-3146, organizations should immediately implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'viewid' parameter and any other user-supplied inputs. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. If possible, upgrade to a patched version of the PHPGurukul Bus Pass Management System once available, or apply vendor-provided patches. In the absence of official patches, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing on the application to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Additionally, monitor logs for suspicious database queries or access patterns. Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices and ensure regular security assessments. Finally, implement network segmentation and least privilege principles to limit the impact of any successful exploitation.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in PHPGurukul Bus Pass Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /view-pass-detail.php. The manipulation of the argument viewid leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-3146 can be significant, especially for public transportation authorities, educational institutions, or municipal bodies using the PHPGurukul Bus Pass Management System. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to personal data of commuters or students, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Data integrity could be compromised, allowing attackers to alter bus pass records, potentially enabling fraudulent use or denial of service to legitimate users. Availability of the system could also be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands, disrupting transportation services. The medium CVSS score reflects the balance between ease of exploitation and the limited scope of affected versions, but the critical nature of the data involved elevates the risk. Organizations may face reputational damage and operational challenges if the vulnerability is exploited.

Summary

CVE-2025-3146 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in PHPGurukul Bus Pass Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /view-pass-detail.php script, where the 'viewid' parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be performed remotely without authentication or user interaction, making exploitation straightforward. The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized retrieval, modification, or deletion of database records, potentially exposing sensitive user data such as personal identification, bus pass details, or payment information. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation. The lack of available patches or updates from the vendor necessitates immediate defensive measures. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for organizations relying on this system for managing transportation passes, as exploitation could disrupt services or compromise user data.
