CVE-2025-7481 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.13 of the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System. The vulnerability resides in the /users/profile.php file, specifically involving the 'firstname' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious input manipulation. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the backend database queries. The injection occurs due to insufficient input validation or sanitization of the 'firstname' parameter, potentially enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete data within the database. Although the exact extent of affected parameters beyond 'firstname' is not fully known, the disclosure suggests other inputs might also be vulnerable. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating a medium severity level, with attack vector being network-based, no user interaction required, and no privileges needed. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present, as the vulnerability could allow partial data leakage or unauthorized data manipulation. The vulnerability does not require authentication, increasing its risk profile. However, the lack of known active exploitation and limited scope of impact reduces the immediate criticality. The absence of official patches or mitigation guidance from the vendor at this time increases the risk for organizations using this system.

For European organizations utilizing the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their parking management data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to user profiles, manipulation of parking records, or disruption of service availability. Such impacts could undermine operational efficiency, cause reputational damage, and potentially expose personal data protected under GDPR regulations, leading to compliance and legal risks. Given that vehicle parking management systems often integrate with broader facility management or security infrastructure, exploitation could also serve as a foothold for lateral movement within organizational networks. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not immediately catastrophic, it should be addressed promptly to prevent escalation or chaining with other vulnerabilities. The lack of known exploits in the wild provides a window for mitigation before active attacks emerge.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13 and identify any exposed instances of the /users/profile.php endpoint. As no official patch is currently available, implement the following mitigations: 1) Apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements for all user inputs, especially the 'firstname' parameter and any other user-controllable fields, to prevent SQL injection. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 3) Restrict network access to the application to trusted IP ranges where feasible, reducing exposure to remote attacks. 4) Monitor application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 5) Plan for an upgrade or patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix. 6) Conduct security testing, including automated scanning and manual penetration testing focused on injection flaws, to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 7) Ensure database accounts used by the application have the least privileges necessary to limit potential damage from exploitation.
