CVE-2025-7479 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.13 of the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System. The vulnerability exists in the /users/view--detail.php file, specifically related to the 'viewid' parameter. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, which the system then executes on the backend database. This type of vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to interfere with the queries that the application makes to its database. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates that the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requires no authentication (AT:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). However, the vulnerability requires low privileges (PR:L), suggesting that some level of user access might be needed, but no elevated privileges are necessary. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), which aligns with the medium severity rating (CVSS score 5.3). The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The lack of available patches or mitigation links indicates that users of this system should be vigilant and consider immediate protective measures. SQL Injection vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even full system compromise depending on the database permissions and the application's architecture. Given that this vulnerability affects a vehicle parking management system, potential risks include unauthorized access to user or vehicle data, manipulation of parking records, or disruption of parking services.

For European organizations using PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. The ability to remotely exploit the SQL Injection flaw could lead to unauthorized access or modification of sensitive data such as user identities, vehicle information, and parking transactions. This could result in privacy violations under GDPR regulations, financial losses, and reputational damage. Additionally, manipulation of parking data could disrupt operational continuity, affecting customers and business partners. Although the vulnerability requires low privileges, the absence of authentication requirements for exploitation increases the risk surface. The medium severity rating suggests that while the impact is not catastrophic, it is significant enough to warrant prompt attention. European organizations in sectors such as transportation, facility management, and smart city infrastructure that rely on this software could be particularly affected. Moreover, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of attempted exploitation, especially if no patches or mitigations are applied.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint (/users/view--detail.php) by implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the 'viewid' parameter. Input validation and parameterized queries should be enforced at the application level to sanitize inputs and prevent injection. If source code access is available, developers should refactor the code to use prepared statements with bound parameters. Network segmentation can limit exposure by isolating the parking management system from broader corporate networks. Monitoring and logging of database queries and web server access should be enhanced to detect suspicious activity. Organizations should also conduct thorough audits of user privileges to ensure minimal necessary access is granted, reducing the risk posed by low-privilege exploitation. Finally, organizations should engage with PHPGurukul or community forums to track the release of official patches and apply them promptly once available.
