CVE-2025-4916 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Auto Taxi Stand Management System, specifically within the /admin/admin-profile.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'mobilenumber' parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. This flaw can lead to unauthorized access or manipulation of the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive data or enabling further compromise of the system. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation without privileges but with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploits are currently known to be in the wild, the disclosure of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation. Other parameters in the same or related scripts might also be vulnerable, indicating a broader issue with input validation in the affected application. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no official patches have been published yet.

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Auto Taxi Stand Management System 1.0, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to customer and operational data stored in the backend database. Given the nature of taxi stand management systems, sensitive personal information such as customer contact details, trip histories, and payment information could be exposed or altered. This could result in privacy violations under GDPR regulations, leading to legal and financial repercussions. Additionally, attackers could manipulate data integrity, causing operational disruptions or financial fraud. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of widespread attacks, particularly targeting organizations that have not updated or secured their systems. The lack of user interaction required means automated attacks or scanning could be effective, increasing exposure. The impact on availability is limited but not negligible if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. Overall, the threat poses a moderate risk to confidentiality and integrity, with potential regulatory and reputational consequences for affected European entities.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Auto Taxi Stand Management System version 1.0 and identify any exposed instances of the /admin/admin-profile.php endpoint. In the absence of an official patch, organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Apply strict input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially 'mobilenumber', using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 2) Restrict access to administrative interfaces by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to reduce exposure. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4) Monitor logs for suspicious activities related to SQL injection attempts and anomalous database queries. 5) Plan for an upgrade or replacement of the vulnerable system with a patched or more secure alternative as soon as it becomes available. 6) Conduct security awareness training for administrators to recognize and respond to potential exploitation attempts. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate containment and long-term remediation specific to the affected system and vulnerability.
