Deeper analysis
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.
