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: 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: 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

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 10 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 2026-10-25.

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

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately audit the input validation and sanitization mechanisms for all user-supplied data in the /admin/add-pass.php file and related administrative interfaces. Implement strict server-side input validation to reject or properly encode special characters in the 'fullname' parameter and any other input fields. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the admin interface. Restrict access to the administrative portal using IP whitelisting, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access controls to minimize the attack surface. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious input patterns or attempted XSS payloads. Conduct security awareness training for administrators to recognize phishing attempts that might exploit this vulnerability. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans tailored to web application attacks.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in PHPGurukul Rail Pass Management System 1.0 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /admin/add-pass.php. The manipulation of the argument fullname leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated 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 involved in rail transportation or ticketing services using PHPGurukul's Rail Pass Management System or similar platforms, this vulnerability poses a risk to administrative security and data integrity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to administrative functions, enabling attackers to alter pass data, issue fraudulent passes, or disrupt service operations. This could result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory compliance issues under GDPR due to potential exposure of personal data. The impact is heightened in countries with extensive rail networks and digital ticketing infrastructure, where disruption or manipulation of rail pass management could affect large user bases and critical transportation services. Additionally, attackers might leverage the XSS vulnerability to conduct targeted phishing campaigns against administrators, increasing the risk of credential theft and further compromise. While the vulnerability does not directly affect availability, indirect impacts such as administrative lockout or data corruption could degrade service reliability.
