CVE-2025-7561 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.2 of the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, specifically within the /admin/team-ontheway-requests.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'teamid' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious manipulation. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without requiring user interaction or prior authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or disruption of service. Although the CVSS score is 5.3 (medium severity), the vulnerability's critical nature is underscored by the potential for data leakage or integrity compromise in a system that manages emergency response information. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The absence of patches or mitigations from the vendor further increases the risk for organizations using this software version. Given the system's role in fire reporting and emergency management, exploitation could have serious operational consequences.

For European organizations, the exploitation of this SQL Injection vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive emergency response data, including team deployment statuses and potentially confidential incident details. This could compromise the integrity and availability of critical emergency services, delaying response times and endangering public safety. Additionally, data breaches resulting from this vulnerability could lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR due to exposure of personal or sensitive information. The disruption or manipulation of fire reporting systems could also erode public trust and damage the reputation of affected agencies. Since the vulnerability allows remote exploitation without user interaction, attackers could automate attacks at scale, increasing the risk of widespread impact among organizations using this system.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System version 1.2 and identify any instances of the vulnerable software. Since no official patches are currently available, it is critical to implement compensating controls such as deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with specific rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the 'teamid' parameter. Input validation and parameterized queries should be enforced at the application level if source code access is available. Network segmentation and strict access controls should limit exposure of the vulnerable system to only trusted internal networks. Regular monitoring of logs for suspicious SQL query patterns and anomalous database activities is recommended. Organizations should also engage with the vendor for timely patch releases and consider upgrading to newer, secure versions once available. Finally, conducting penetration testing focused on SQL Injection vectors can help identify residual risks.
