Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 5 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting external access to the affected application, especially the /bwdates-report-result.php endpoint, through network segmentation and firewall rules. 2. Implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to sanitize 'fromdate' and 'todate' parameters, preventing SQL injection. 3. Monitor application logs for suspicious query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 4. Conduct a thorough security audit of the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. 5. If possible, deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules targeting SQL injection attempts to provide an additional layer of defense. 6. Engage with the vendor or development team to obtain or develop patches addressing this vulnerability. 7. Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans are updated to handle potential exploitation scenarios. 8. Regularly back up databases and verify backup integrity to enable recovery in case of data tampering or loss.

Description

A vulnerability was found in PHPGurukul Human Metapneumovirus Testing Management System 1.0. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /bwdates-report-result.php. The manipulation of the argument fromdate/todate leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, especially healthcare providers and laboratories using the PHPGurukul Human Metapneumovirus Testing Management System, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to patient test results and related sensitive health information. Exposure of such data could lead to violations of GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial repercussions. Additionally, manipulation of test data could undermine the integrity of diagnostic results, potentially affecting patient care and public health responses. While the CVSS score suggests medium severity, the critical nature of healthcare data elevates the potential impact. Organizations relying on this system may face operational disruptions if attackers exploit the vulnerability to corrupt or delete data. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of widespread attacks if the system is accessible over the internet or poorly segmented within internal networks.
