Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-2050 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability (classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89) affecting PHPGurukul User Registration & Login and User Management System version 3.3. The flaw resides in an unknown functionality of the file /login.php, where manipulation of the email argument enables SQL injection. Published on 2025-03-07, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. By crafting malicious input for the email parameter during login attempts, the attacker can execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to low-level impacts on confidentiality (e.g., limited data exposure), integrity (e.g., minor data modification), and availability (e.g., minor service disruption).
