Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within 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: None: There is no impact to availability within 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.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, 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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

Organizations should immediately review and restrict administrative access to the /admin/add-subadmin.php interface, ensuring that only trusted personnel have access. Input validation and output encoding should be implemented or improved for the 'fullname' parameter and any other user-supplied inputs to prevent script injection. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious activity related to the affected endpoint. Additionally, conduct security awareness training for staff to recognize and avoid social engineering attempts that could facilitate exploitation. Finally, maintain an inventory of all systems using this software to prioritize updates once a patch is released.

Description

A vulnerability was found in PHPGurukul Restaurant Table Booking System 1.0 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /admin/add-subadmin.php. The manipulation of the argument fullname leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Other parameters might be affected as well.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly those in the hospitality sector using PHPGurukul's Restaurant Table Booking System, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to administrative functions or user session compromise. Exploitation could result in defacement of administrative interfaces, theft of sensitive booking or customer data, or the injection of malicious scripts that could spread malware or phishing attacks to employees or customers. Given that the vulnerability requires some level of privilege and user interaction, the risk is somewhat mitigated but still significant in environments where multiple administrators or staff have access to the booking system backend. The impact on availability is minimal, but the integrity and confidentiality of data could be compromised. This could lead to reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR if customer data is exposed), and financial losses due to fraud or remediation costs.

Summary

CVE-2025-5970 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Restaurant Table Booking System, specifically within the /admin/add-subadmin.php file. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'fullname' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious script injection. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without authentication, although the CVSS vector indicates that privileges are required (PR:H) and user interaction is needed (UI:P), suggesting that the attacker must have some level of administrative access and trick a user into interacting with a crafted payload. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.8. The impact primarily affects the confidentiality and integrity of the affected system by allowing script execution in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. The disclosure mentions that other parameters might also be vulnerable, indicating a broader input validation issue within the application. No known exploits are currently active in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, which suggests that organizations using this system should prioritize remediation once available. The vulnerability affects a niche product used for restaurant table booking management, which may be deployed in small to medium hospitality businesses.
