Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 10.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-25202 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability affecting Phpgurukul User Registration & Login and User Management System version 1.0. The flaw, tracked under CWE-94, permits arbitrary code execution through the application's search bar and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.1 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no required privileges, and required user interaction with changed scope.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue by supplying a malicious payload in the search bar; successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary script in a victim's browser session, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality and integrity.
The EPSS score for this CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0635 on 2026-03-18 before receding to the current value of 0.0495, indicating a modest increase in observed exploitation interest after public disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
