CVE-2025-5615 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.2 of the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, specifically within the /details.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'requestid' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious input manipulation. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, by injecting crafted SQL commands through the 'requestid' argument. This can lead to unauthorized access to the backend database, allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data stored within the system. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating a medium severity level, reflecting the moderate impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction needed. However, the vulnerability's impact on the system's overall security posture depends on the database's contents and the system's role in critical fire reporting operations. Since the Online Fire Reporting System likely handles emergency incident data, exploitation could disrupt emergency response workflows or expose sensitive incident information.

For European organizations utilizing the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System version 1.2, this vulnerability poses a risk of data breach and operational disruption. Compromise of the fire reporting system could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive emergency incident data, potentially violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. Moreover, manipulation or deletion of fire incident records could impair emergency response coordination, risking public safety. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the threat level, as attackers can launch attacks from anywhere without insider access. Although the CVSS score is medium, the criticality of fire reporting systems in public safety contexts elevates the potential impact. European emergency services relying on this software may face reputational damage, legal liabilities, and operational setbacks if exploited. Additionally, attackers could leverage the database access to pivot into other internal networks if proper segmentation is lacking.

Organizations should immediately assess their deployment of PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System version 1.2 and prioritize upgrading to a patched version once available. In the absence of an official patch, implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize the 'requestid' parameter and prevent SQL injection. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on injection flaws. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit potential damage from exploitation. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns related to /details.php. Network segmentation should isolate the fire reporting system from other critical infrastructure to contain potential breaches. Finally, establish an incident response plan tailored to potential exploitation scenarios of this vulnerability.
