CVE-2025-7559 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.2 of the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, specifically within the /admin/bwdates-report-result.php file. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'fromdate' and 'todate' input parameters, which are used to generate reports based on date ranges. An attacker can remotely manipulate these parameters to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely without authentication, increasing its risk profile. Despite being classified as critical in the description, the CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low complexity and no privileges required. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation by attackers. The vulnerability affects only version 1.2 of the product, and no official patches or mitigations have been linked yet. Given the nature of the product—an online fire reporting system—successful exploitation could disrupt emergency reporting workflows and expose sensitive incident data, which is critical for public safety and operational continuity.

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System 1.2, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of fire incident data, which may include sensitive information about locations, response times, and personnel. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, manipulation of reports, or denial of service by corrupting database contents. This can undermine trust in emergency response systems, delay critical interventions, and potentially endanger public safety. Additionally, compromised systems could be leveraged as entry points for further network intrusion or lateral movement within municipal or regional IT infrastructures. The impact is particularly severe for public sector organizations responsible for emergency services, as well as private entities relying on this system for compliance and reporting. The medium CVSS score suggests that while the vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication, the overall impact is somewhat limited by the scope of the affected functionality and the requirement for low privileges. However, the critical classification in the description indicates that the real-world impact could be more severe depending on deployment context.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the /admin/bwdates-report-result.php endpoint to trusted IP addresses or VPN users to reduce exposure. 2. Implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize 'fromdate' and 'todate' inputs, preventing SQL injection. 3. Conduct a thorough code review of all input handling in the application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. 4. Monitor web server and application logs for suspicious query patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. 5. If possible, upgrade to a patched version once available or apply vendor-provided fixes promptly. 6. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL injection signatures to provide an additional layer of defense. 7. Educate system administrators and developers on secure coding practices and the importance of timely patching. 8. Regularly back up databases and test restoration procedures to ensure resilience against data corruption or loss resulting from exploitation.
