Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-2374 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the PHPGurukul Human Metapneumovirus Testing Management System version 1.0. The flaw resides in the processing of the /profile.php file, where manipulation of the arguments aid, adminname, mobilenumber, or email enables injection attacks. It is associated with CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection), carrying a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
A remote attacker with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption through injected SQL queries.
