Summary

CVE-2025-2471 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Phpgurukul Boat Booking System. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 36th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-2471 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Boat Booking System 1.0. The issue affects an unknown function within the file /boat-details.php, where manipulation of the 'bid' argument enables the injection. Recent CWE classifications include CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')).

The vulnerability allows remote exploitation over the network with low attack complexity and requires low privileges (PR:L), without user interaction. Successful attacks can result in low-level impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as scored at CVSS 6.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). An authenticated user with low privileges could manipulate the 'bid' parameter to inject malicious SQL payloads.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and output encoding that prevent injection flaws.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.
