CVE-2025-7490 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.13 of the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System, specifically within the /admin/reg-users.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'del' parameter, which is used in a database query. An attacker can manipulate this parameter remotely to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to or modification of the backend database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited without authentication, increasing the risk of exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting that while the attack vector is network-based and requires low attack complexity, it does require some privileges (PR:L) and results in low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, although no known exploits in the wild have been reported yet. This vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive user data, modify or delete records, or escalate privileges within the application, potentially leading to further compromise of the system or network.

For European organizations using PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System 1.13, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to user registration data, including personal information of employees, customers, or visitors, which may violate GDPR and other data protection regulations. Additionally, manipulation of parking management data could disrupt operational workflows, causing service interruptions or reputational damage. If the compromised system is integrated with other enterprise systems, attackers might leverage this foothold to move laterally within the network. The medium CVSS score suggests limited but non-negligible impact, especially in environments where this system controls critical access or interfaces with sensitive infrastructure. Organizations in sectors such as transportation, facility management, or municipal services in Europe should be particularly vigilant.

1. Immediate patching or upgrading to a fixed version of the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System is the most effective mitigation; if no patch is available, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable /admin/reg-users.php functionality. 2. Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3. Restrict administrative interface access to trusted IP addresses or via VPN to reduce exposure. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'del' parameter. 5. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing on all input handling components. 6. Monitor logs for suspicious database queries or repeated failed attempts to exploit the 'del' parameter. 7. Educate system administrators on the risks and ensure timely application of security updates. 8. As a longer-term measure, consider migrating to more secure and actively maintained parking management solutions.
