Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System version 1.0 and assess exposure to the /create-pass.php endpoint. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block typical XSS payloads targeting this parameter. Additionally, organizations should educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links and implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution sources. Monitoring logs for unusual POST requests to /create-pass.php and anomalous user behavior can help detect exploitation attempts. Finally, organizations should engage with the vendor to obtain patches or updates and plan for timely application once released.

Description

A vulnerability was found in PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System 1.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the file /create-pass.php of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument visname leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely.

Impact

For European organizations using PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of client-side script injection that can compromise user sessions, steal sensitive information, or manipulate the user interface. Since the system manages visitor information for apartment complexes, exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to visitor logs or manipulation of visitor credentials, potentially undermining physical security controls. The impact is particularly relevant for property management companies, residential complexes, and housing cooperatives that rely on this software for visitor management. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect server confidentiality or availability, the integrity and trustworthiness of the system's user interface and data can be compromised, leading to reputational damage and potential regulatory scrutiny under GDPR if personal data is exposed or misused.

Summary

CVE-2025-7819 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System. The vulnerability exists in the /create-pass.php file, specifically in the HTTP POST request handler that processes the 'visname' parameter. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious scripts, which are then executed in the context of the victim's browser. This type of vulnerability allows an attacker to perform actions such as session hijacking, defacement, or redirecting users to malicious sites. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, but requires user interaction (e.g., the victim must visit a crafted URL or submit a form containing the malicious payload). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.8, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string indicates that the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:H indicates high privileges required but this conflicts with AT:N - likely a data inconsistency; assuming no privileges required), user interaction is required (UI:P), and the impact is limited primarily to integrity (VI:L) with no impact on confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet.
