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), CVSS vector, 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

1. 2. Input validation and output encoding: Implement strict server-side input validation and context-aware output encoding for all user-supplied data, especially in admin interfaces. 3. Content Security Policy (CSP): Deploy a robust CSP to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts and mitigate the impact of XSS attacks. 4. Admin interface access controls: Restrict access to the /admin/profile.php page using network-level controls such as VPNs or IP whitelisting to limit exposure. 5. User awareness and monitoring: Educate administrators about phishing risks and monitor logs for suspicious activities indicative of XSS exploitation attempts. 6. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Employ a WAF with rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable parameter. 7. Regular security assessments: Conduct periodic code reviews and penetration testing focusing on input handling in administrative modules.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in PHPGurukul Time Table Generator System 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /admin/profile.php. The manipulation of the argument adminname leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Time Table Generator System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to administrative users. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized actions performed with admin privileges, potentially disrupting scheduling operations or exposing sensitive administrative data. Although the direct impact on confidentiality and availability is limited, the integrity of the system could be compromised, affecting trustworthiness of timetable data. In sectors such as education, public administration, or any organization relying on this system for critical scheduling, this could cause operational disruptions or reputational damage. Additionally, if attackers leverage stolen admin sessions or credentials obtained via XSS, they could escalate attacks to broader network resources. Given the remote exploitability and public availability of the exploit, European organizations should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent targeted attacks, especially in environments where the timetable system interfaces with other critical infrastructure or sensitive personal data.

Summary

CVE-2025-7941 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul Time Table Generator System, specifically within an unspecified function in the /admin/profile.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'adminname' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious scripts. This vulnerability is exploitable remotely without requiring prior authentication, although it does require some level of user interaction (e.g., an administrator visiting a crafted URL). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details highlight that the attack complexity is low, no privileges are required, but user interaction is necessary. The impact on confidentiality is none, integrity is low, and availability is none, suggesting the primary risk is the execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of an administrator's browser session. While no known exploits are currently in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability could allow attackers to perform actions such as session hijacking, defacement of the admin interface, or phishing attacks targeting administrative users, potentially leading to further compromise of the system or sensitive data exposure indirectly through social engineering or session theft.
