CVE-2025-6913 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 3.2 of the PHPGurukul Student Record System, specifically within the /admin-profile.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'aemailid' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious input manipulation. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without requiring user interaction or prior authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The injection allows the attacker to interfere with the backend SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even full compromise of the database. Although the CVSS score is 5.3 (medium severity), the vulnerability's remote exploitability and the critical nature of the data managed by student record systems elevate the risk profile. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are currently active in the wild. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), and requires low privileges (PR:L), meaning an attacker with some level of access could leverage this flaw more easily. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, increasing the urgency for mitigation.

For European organizations, especially educational institutions and administrative bodies using PHPGurukul Student Record System 3.2, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Student record systems contain sensitive personal data, including identification details, academic records, and potentially financial information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Integrity of records could be compromised, affecting academic outcomes and institutional reputation. Availability impacts, while limited, could disrupt administrative operations. Given the remote exploitability and no user interaction required, attackers could automate attacks to extract or manipulate data at scale. The medium CVSS score may underestimate the real-world impact due to the sensitivity of the data involved. European organizations must consider the regulatory implications and the potential for reputational damage alongside technical risks.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'aemailid' parameter. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the /admin-profile.php file to sanitize the 'aemailid' input. 3. Restrict access to the administration interface to trusted IP ranges or via VPN to reduce exposure. 4. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 5. If possible, upgrade to a patched version once available or apply vendor-provided patches promptly. 6. Educate administrators about the vulnerability and enforce the principle of least privilege to limit the impact of compromised accounts. 7. Perform regular backups of the database to enable recovery in case of data tampering. 8. Engage in vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on injection flaws to identify similar issues proactively.
