CVE-2025-4780 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 2.0 of the PHPGurukul Park Ticketing Management System, specifically within the /foreigner-search.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'searchdata' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to or modification of the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring user interaction or authentication, increasing its risk profile. The disclosed CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting that while the attack vector is network-based and requires low attack complexity, it demands some privileges (PR:L) and results in low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. However, the vulnerability could still be leveraged to extract sensitive data or disrupt ticketing operations. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, and no official patches have been released yet. The vulnerability affects only version 2.0 of the product, which is a niche ticketing management system used primarily for park visitor management.

For European organizations, particularly those managing parks, recreational facilities, or tourist attractions using PHPGurukul Park Ticketing Management System 2.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data disclosure and potential disruption of ticketing services. Exploitation could lead to leakage of visitor information, including foreign visitor data, which may include personal identifiable information (PII) subject to GDPR regulations. This could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could manipulate ticketing data, causing operational disruptions or financial losses. Although the impact is rated medium, the lack of patches and the remote exploitability without user interaction make it a concern for organizations relying on this system. The threat is less relevant for organizations not using this specific software or those using updated or alternative solutions.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Park Ticketing Management System version 2.0 and identify any instances of the vulnerable /foreigner-search.php functionality. Until an official patch is released, implement the following mitigations: 1) Apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize the 'searchdata' input, preventing SQL injection. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint. 3) Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any injection. 4) Monitor logs for unusual query patterns or repeated access attempts to /foreigner-search.php. 5) Consider isolating or disabling the vulnerable functionality if not essential. 6) Plan for an upgrade or replacement of the system once a vendor patch or newer secure version becomes available. 7) Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response to any suspicious activity.
