CVE-2025-45885 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in the PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13. The vulnerability exists in the /vpms/users/login.php file, specifically through the 'emailcont' parameter. This parameter is used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. Exploiting this flaw enables an attacker to manipulate the backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or deletion. Given the CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, this vulnerability is highly severe, with network attack vector, no required privileges, and no user interaction needed. The impact includes full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability falls under CWE-89, which is the standard classification for SQL injection issues. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the ease of exploitation and critical impact make it a significant threat. The absence of vendor patches or mitigations at the time of publication increases the urgency for affected organizations to implement protective measures.

For European organizations using the PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive user data, including personal and authentication information, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The integrity of parking management data could be compromised, disrupting operations and causing financial and reputational damage. Availability could also be affected if attackers delete or alter critical data, leading to service outages. Given the criticality and ease of exploitation, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to establish persistent access or pivot to other internal systems. Organizations in sectors such as municipal services, private parking operators, and facility management that rely on this software are particularly at risk. The breach of personal data could result in regulatory penalties and loss of customer trust.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing input validation and sanitization for the 'emailcont' parameter to prevent SQL injection. Organizations should apply parameterized queries or prepared statements in the login.php code to eliminate direct injection risks. Since no official patches are available, organizations should consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this parameter. Conducting thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors in the application is recommended. Additionally, monitoring database logs for suspicious queries and unusual access patterns can help detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should also isolate the affected system within the network to limit lateral movement if compromised. Finally, planning for an update or migration to a patched or alternative parking management solution is advisable once a vendor fix is released.
