CVE-2025-7479 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.13 of the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System, specifically within the /users/view--detail.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'viewid' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious input manipulation. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, by crafting specially designed requests to the affected parameter. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the backend database queries. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or potentially full compromise of the underlying database. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not affect system components beyond the database scope and does not involve system-level code execution or privilege escalation. However, given the critical nature of parking management systems in operational environments, the risk to business continuity and data privacy is non-negligible.

For European organizations utilizing PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System 1.13, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data stored within the parking management database, such as user credentials, vehicle information, and transaction records. Compromise of this data could lead to privacy violations under GDPR regulations, resulting in legal and financial repercussions. Additionally, attackers could manipulate or delete parking records, disrupting operational workflows and causing service outages. In environments where parking systems integrate with broader facility management or security infrastructure, this vulnerability could serve as a pivot point for further network intrusion. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate risk, but the ease of remote exploitation without authentication increases the urgency for mitigation. European organizations with high reliance on automated parking solutions, especially in critical infrastructure or commercial real estate sectors, may face operational and reputational damage if exploited.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System and identify any deployments running version 1.13. Since no official patch is currently linked, organizations should implement the following practical measures: 1) Apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements for the 'viewid' parameter in /users/view--detail.php to prevent SQL injection. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns on the affected endpoint. 3) Monitor logs for unusual or malformed requests targeting the 'viewid' parameter to detect potential exploitation attempts. 4) Restrict network access to the parking management system to trusted internal networks where feasible, reducing exposure to remote attacks. 5) Plan for an upgrade or patch deployment from the vendor once available, and maintain regular vulnerability scanning to detect similar issues. 6) Conduct security awareness training for IT staff responsible for the system to recognize and respond to exploitation indicators promptly.
