CVE-2025-7561 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.2 of the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, specifically affecting the /admin/team-ontheway-requests.php file. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'teamid' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. An attacker can manipulate this parameter remotely without authentication or user interaction to inject malicious SQL code. This can lead to unauthorized access to the backend database, allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data related to fire reporting operations. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known exploits have been observed in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 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. However, the vulnerability still poses a significant risk given the critical nature of fire reporting systems, which are essential for emergency response coordination and public safety.

For European organizations, particularly those involved in emergency services, municipal safety departments, or agencies using the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, this vulnerability could have serious consequences. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure or alteration of sensitive incident data, potentially disrupting emergency response workflows. This could delay fire response times, misdirect resources, or compromise the integrity of incident records, undermining public safety and trust. Additionally, attackers could leverage the database access to pivot into other internal systems, escalating the impact. Given the critical role of fire reporting systems in public safety infrastructure, any compromise could have cascading effects on operational continuity and regulatory compliance within European jurisdictions.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System version 1.2 and restrict access to the /admin/team-ontheway-requests.php endpoint to trusted administrators only, ideally via network segmentation or VPN. Since no official patch is currently available, implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements on the 'teamid' parameter to prevent SQL injection. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of database queries and web server access to detect anomalous activities. Additionally, consider isolating the application database with strict access controls and encrypt sensitive data at rest. Organizations should also prepare incident response plans specific to potential exploitation scenarios of this vulnerability.
