CVE-2025-56710 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability found in the Profile Page of the PHPGurukul Student-Result-Management-System-Using-PHP-V2.0. This vulnerability allows an attacker to exploit the trust a web application places in an authenticated user by tricking that user into submitting unauthorized requests. Specifically, the attacker crafts a malicious HTML page that, when visited by an authenticated user, sends unauthorized requests to the vulnerable endpoint /create-class.php. This endpoint presumably handles creation or modification of class-related data within the system. Because the system does not implement adequate CSRF protections such as anti-CSRF tokens or referer validation, the attacker can cause unintended modifications to the user's account details or class data without the user's consent or knowledge. The vulnerability requires the victim to be authenticated and to visit a malicious page controlled by the attacker. There is no indication that user interaction beyond visiting the page is required, and no authentication bypass is involved. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no known exploits are currently in the wild. The affected versions are not explicitly specified, but the vulnerability is tied to PHPGurukul Student-Result-Management-System-Using-PHP-V2.0. The lack of patch links suggests that no official fix has been published at the time of disclosure.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions or entities using the PHPGurukul Student-Result-Management-System, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized modification of sensitive academic data, such as student results or class information. Such unauthorized changes could undermine data integrity, leading to incorrect academic records, loss of trust, and potential regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is altered or exposed. The attack could also be leveraged to escalate further attacks by modifying user roles or permissions if the system allows such changes via the vulnerable endpoint. Although the vulnerability requires user authentication and user interaction (visiting a malicious page), the impact on confidentiality is moderate since the attacker does not directly extract data but can alter it. Integrity is at higher risk due to unauthorized modifications, and availability impact is low as the attack does not appear to disrupt service. The threat is more relevant to organizations that have deployed this specific system or similar PHP-based student management systems without CSRF protections. Given the educational sector's importance in Europe and the sensitivity of academic data, this vulnerability could have reputational and operational impacts if exploited.

To mitigate this CSRF vulnerability, organizations should implement anti-CSRF tokens in all forms and state-changing requests, including the /create-class.php endpoint. This involves generating unique, unpredictable tokens tied to user sessions and validating them on the server side for every request that modifies data. Additionally, validating the HTTP Referer header can provide an extra layer of defense, although it should not be solely relied upon. Organizations should also enforce secure session management practices, including setting the SameSite attribute on cookies to 'Strict' or 'Lax' to reduce CSRF risk. User education to avoid clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites while authenticated can help reduce exploitation likelihood. Finally, organizations should monitor web server logs for unusual POST requests to sensitive endpoints and apply timely patches or updates once available from the vendor. If possible, restricting access to the management system to trusted networks or VPNs can reduce exposure.
