CVE-2025-7584 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.2 of the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, specifically affecting the /admin/add-team.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper handling and sanitization of the 'teammember' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be performed remotely without requiring user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability is classified with a medium severity and has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), suggesting that exploitation could lead to partial data disclosure, modification, or disruption of service. The scope remains unchanged (S:U), meaning the vulnerability affects only the vulnerable component without impacting other system components. Although no public exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The lack of patches or vendor-provided fixes at this time necessitates immediate attention from system administrators using this software. SQL Injection vulnerabilities are critical because they allow attackers to manipulate backend databases, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data corruption, or denial of service. Given that this vulnerability affects an administrative interface, successful exploitation could grant attackers elevated privileges or access to sensitive operational data related to fire reporting and emergency response.

For European organizations utilizing the PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System, this vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality and integrity of critical emergency response data. Unauthorized access or manipulation of fire reporting information could disrupt emergency services, delay response times, and compromise public safety. Additionally, data breaches involving personal or operational data could lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR and damage organizational reputation. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is exploitable, the impact might be limited to the affected system and its data. However, given the critical nature of fire reporting systems, even partial disruption or data manipulation could have serious real-world consequences. Organizations relying on this software should consider the potential for targeted attacks, especially in regions where emergency services are digitized and interconnected. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for mitigation but also implies that attackers may develop exploits soon after public disclosure.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the /admin/add-team.php endpoint to trusted internal networks and authenticated users only, using network-level controls such as firewalls and VPNs. 2. Implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should review and sanitize the 'teammember' parameter handling manually or apply web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this parameter. 3. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns related to the vulnerable endpoint. 4. Conduct a thorough security audit of the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. 5. Plan for an immediate update or patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix. 6. Educate administrative users about phishing and social engineering risks that could facilitate exploitation. 7. Consider deploying database activity monitoring solutions to detect and alert on suspicious queries. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on network segmentation, manual code review, and proactive monitoring tailored to this specific vulnerability and application context.
