CVE-2025-6929 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 2.1 of the PHPGurukul Zoo Management System, specifically within the /admin/view-normal-ticket.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'viewid' parameter, which is used in SQL queries without adequate protection against injection attacks. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to or modification of the backend database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited without authentication, increasing its risk profile. Although the CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), the exploitability is relatively straightforward due to network accessibility and lack of required privileges. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited to low levels individually but combined can lead to significant data exposure or corruption. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability disclosure is public, which may increase the likelihood of exploitation attempts.

For European organizations using PHPGurukul Zoo Management System 2.1, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access or manipulation within the zoo management database. This could lead to leakage of sensitive information such as ticketing data, visitor logs, or internal administrative records. While the system is niche, organizations relying on it for operational management could face disruptions or reputational damage if data integrity is compromised. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is not immediately critical, exploitation could facilitate further attacks or data breaches if combined with other vulnerabilities. Given the remote exploitability and lack of authentication requirements, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain footholds in internal networks, especially if the system is exposed to the internet or poorly segmented. This risk is heightened in organizations with limited cybersecurity resources or outdated infrastructure.

1. Immediate code review and remediation of the /admin/view-normal-ticket.php file to implement proper input validation and parameterized queries (prepared statements) to prevent SQL injection. 2. Restrict access to the administrative interface via network segmentation, VPN, or IP whitelisting to reduce exposure. 3. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'viewid' parameter. 4. Conduct thorough security testing (dynamic and static) on the application to identify and remediate additional injection points. 5. Monitor logs for suspicious query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 6. If possible, upgrade to a patched version once available or apply community-provided fixes. 7. Educate administrators on the risks of exposing management interfaces and enforce strong authentication and access controls. 8. Regularly back up database contents to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss.
