Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

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 2026-10-26.

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 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

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include input validation and sanitization on the 'adminname' parameter to neutralize malicious scripts, either by applying web application firewall (WAF) rules specifically targeting XSS payloads or by deploying content security policies (CSP) to restrict script execution. Administrators should restrict access to the /admin-profile.php page to trusted IP addresses or VPN users to reduce exposure. Monitoring and logging HTTP POST requests to detect anomalous or suspicious input patterns is recommended. Additionally, educating administrators and users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links can reduce successful exploitation. Organizations should also engage with PHPGurukul or the software vendor to obtain patches or updates and plan for timely application once available. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on XSS vulnerabilities in this system are advised.

Description

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /admin-profile.php of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument adminname leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System version 1.0, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to administrative sessions or data manipulation through XSS attacks. Since the system manages visitor information, exploitation could result in exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) of residents and visitors, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The integrity of administrative profiles could be compromised, leading to unauthorized changes or privilege escalation. While the vulnerability does not directly affect system availability, successful exploitation could facilitate further attacks such as phishing or session hijacking, increasing the overall risk posture. Organizations in Europe that rely on this system for visitor management in residential or commercial properties should be aware of potential compliance and reputational impacts if exploited.

Summary

CVE-2025-7858 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System. The vulnerability resides in the /admin-profile.php file, specifically in the HTTP POST request handler that processes the 'adminname' parameter. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious scripts, which are then executed in the context of the victim's browser. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, although it does require user interaction (e.g., the victim must visit a crafted URL or submit a malicious form). The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 classifies this as a medium severity issue, reflecting moderate impact and ease of exploitation. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent by potentially allowing session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the administrator. Availability impact is minimal. No patches or mitigations have been officially published yet, and no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation attempts. The vulnerability is categorized as problematic, indicating that while it is not critical, it still poses a meaningful security risk, especially in environments where the affected system manages sensitive visitor data or administrative functions.
