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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 20 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

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 focus on input validation and output encoding: sanitize the 'profile name' parameter rigorously to neutralize any embedded scripts before rendering in the admin profile page. 2. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the admin interface. 3. Restrict access to the admin panel using network-level controls such as VPNs or IP whitelisting to reduce exposure. 4. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) for admin accounts to mitigate the risk of session hijacking. 5. Monitor admin interface logs for unusual activity patterns indicative of attempted XSS exploitation. 6. 7. Educate administrative users about the risks of interacting with suspicious links or inputs that could trigger XSS attacks. 8. Regularly update and audit the web application codebase to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in PHPGurukul Bus Pass Management System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /admin/admin-profile.php of the component Profile Page. The manipulation of the argument profile name leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely.

Impact

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Bus Pass Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to administrative users managing bus pass profiles. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute malicious scripts in the admin's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized administrative actions. This could disrupt the management of public transportation passes, affecting operational efficiency and user trust. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system availability or data confidentiality, the integrity of administrative operations could be undermined. Additionally, if attackers leverage this XSS to pivot into further attacks or inject malware, broader organizational impacts could ensue. Given that public transportation systems are critical infrastructure components in many European cities, any disruption or compromise could have cascading effects on mobility services and public confidence. However, the limited scope to version 1.0 and the absence of known exploits reduce the immediate threat level.
