CVE-2025-6930 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 2.1 of the PHPGurukul Zoo Management System, specifically within the /admin/manage-foreigners-ticket.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or authentication, making it remotely exploitable with low attack complexity. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3 (medium severity), the presence of remote exploitation without authentication elevates the risk profile. The vulnerability affects a niche product used for zoo management, which may include sensitive data about visitors, tickets, and possibly animal records. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, but the exploit details have been disclosed publicly, increasing the risk of exploitation by opportunistic attackers.

For European organizations, particularly those managing zoological parks or wildlife conservation centers using PHPGurukul Zoo Management System 2.1, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to visitor information, ticketing data, and potentially sensitive operational data. This could result in data breaches violating GDPR regulations, leading to legal and financial penalties. Additionally, manipulation of ticketing data could disrupt operations and revenue. The integrity of animal management records could also be compromised, affecting animal welfare and regulatory compliance. Given the remote exploitability and lack of required authentication, attackers could target these systems from outside the organization, increasing the threat surface. The medium CVSS score suggests moderate impact, but the specific context of affected organizations could amplify consequences, especially if integrated with other systems or if the database contains personally identifiable information (PII).

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Zoo Management System and identify any installations running version 2.1. Since no official patches are currently linked, mitigation should focus on implementing input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection on the 'ID' parameter in /admin/manage-foreigners-ticket.php. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. Restricting access to the admin interface by IP whitelisting or VPN can reduce exposure. Regular database backups should be maintained to enable recovery in case of data tampering. Monitoring logs for unusual query patterns or access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint is critical for early detection. Organizations should also engage with the vendor or community for updates or patches and plan for timely application once available. Finally, conducting security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities can help identify residual risks.
