CVE-2025-4926 is a vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Car Rental Project, specifically affecting the /admin/post-avehical.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the img1 through img5 parameters, which allows an attacker to perform unrestricted file uploads. This means that an attacker can upload arbitrary files, potentially including malicious scripts or executables, without proper validation or restrictions. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector. However, the CVSS vector shows a requirement for privileges (PR:H), which suggests that some level of privilege is needed, possibly administrative access, to exploit this vulnerability. The CVSS score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting moderate impact and exploitability. The unrestricted upload flaw can lead to several security issues such as remote code execution, server compromise, data theft, or defacement if malicious files are uploaded and executed. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are reported in the wild yet. The lack of patches or official fixes increases the risk for users of this software. The vulnerability is classified as critical in the description but the CVSS score and vector indicate medium severity, likely due to the privilege requirement. This discrepancy suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, exploitation is limited to users with elevated privileges, reducing the overall risk somewhat. The vulnerability affects a niche product used for car rental management, which may be deployed by small to medium enterprises or local car rental businesses relying on PHPGurukul's solution.

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Car Rental Project 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized file uploads leading to potential remote code execution or server compromise. This can result in data breaches, loss of customer data, service disruption, and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires elevated privileges, the risk is higher if internal accounts are compromised or if administrative access is not properly controlled. Small and medium-sized car rental companies in Europe that use this software may be particularly vulnerable due to potentially limited IT security resources. Additionally, compromised systems could be leveraged as pivot points for broader network attacks or used to host malicious content, impacting compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The medium CVSS score suggests moderate urgency but the potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability remains significant if exploited.

1. Immediately restrict access to the /admin/post-avehical.php endpoint to trusted administrators only, using network segmentation and strong authentication mechanisms. 2. Implement strict input validation and file type verification on all file upload parameters (img1 to img5) to allow only safe image formats and reject executable or script files. 3. Employ server-side scanning of uploaded files using antivirus and malware detection tools before processing or storing them. 4. Monitor logs for unusual upload activity or attempts to upload suspicious files. 5. If possible, disable file uploads temporarily until a patch or update is available. 6. Enforce the principle of least privilege for all user accounts, ensuring that only necessary users have administrative access. 7. Regularly update and patch the PHPGurukul Car Rental Project software when vendor fixes become available. 8. Conduct security awareness training for administrators to recognize and prevent misuse of privileged access. 9. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block malicious upload attempts targeting this vulnerability.
