CVE-2025-9932 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.1 of the PHPGurukul Beauty Parlour Management System, specifically within the /admin/update-image.php file. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'lid' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the underlying database. This could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database server. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it exploitable by any remote attacker with network access to the affected system. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is rated low individually but combined can lead to significant risks depending on the database contents and system configuration. No official patch or mitigation has been published yet, and while no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the exploit code has been made publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation.

For European organizations using PHPGurukul Beauty Parlour Management System version 1.1, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer data, including personal information and appointment details, which could violate GDPR and other privacy regulations. Data integrity could be compromised, leading to fraudulent records or service disruptions. Availability impacts could arise if attackers manipulate or delete critical data, affecting business operations. Given the nature of beauty parlour management systems, the direct impact might be limited to small and medium enterprises in the beauty and wellness sector; however, reputational damage and regulatory fines could be significant. Additionally, if the compromised system is integrated with payment processing or other critical infrastructure, the risk escalates. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the urgency for mitigation.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of PHPGurukul Beauty Parlour Management System version 1.1 and restrict access to the /admin/update-image.php endpoint via network controls such as firewalls or VPNs. Input validation and parameterized queries should be implemented to sanitize the 'lid' parameter and prevent SQL injection. Until an official patch is released, applying Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint is recommended. Regular database backups should be maintained to enable recovery in case of data tampering. Monitoring and logging of database queries and web server access should be enhanced to detect suspicious activities. Organizations should also consider isolating the management system from critical networks and applying the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application. Finally, stay alert for vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once available.
