CVE-2025-7177 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Car Washing Management System, specifically within the /admin/editcar-washpoint.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'wpid' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially altering database queries executed by the application. This could lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even deletion, depending on the database permissions and the nature of the injected payload. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require high privileges (PR:H) as per the CVSS vector, indicating that the attacker must have some level of authenticated access to exploit it. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting the limited scope and impact due to required privileges and limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. However, the exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation by malicious actors. No patches or fixes have been linked yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild at this time. The vulnerability affects a niche application used for managing car wash operations, which may be deployed in small to medium enterprises or service providers managing vehicle cleaning services.

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Car Washing Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized database access and manipulation. If exploited, attackers could extract sensitive customer data, modify service records, or disrupt business operations by corrupting the database. This could lead to reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (especially under GDPR if personal data is involved), and financial losses. Given the requirement for high privileges to exploit, the threat is more significant if internal users or compromised accounts are involved. The public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of targeted attacks, especially against organizations that have not updated or mitigated the issue. The impact on availability is limited but possible if the database is corrupted or deleted. Integrity and confidentiality impacts are moderate due to potential unauthorized data access and modification.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of the PHPGurukul Car Washing Management System and identify any deployments of version 1.0. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the /admin/editcar-washpoint.php endpoint to trusted and authenticated users only, enforcing the principle of least privilege. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'wpid' parameter. 3) Conduct code reviews and apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize the 'wpid' parameter if source code access is possible. 4) Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or failed injection attempts. 5) Consider isolating the application database with strict access controls and regular backups to enable recovery in case of data corruption. 6) Engage with the vendor or community for updates or patches and plan for an upgrade once available.
