Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-2627 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Art Gallery Management System version 1.0. The flaw resides in the /admin/contactus.php file, where manipulation of the 'pagetitle' argument enables injection attacks. Classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89, it carries 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) and was published on 2025-03-22.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an attacker with low privileges, such as an authenticated user with access to the admin interface. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts including low-level confidentiality, integrity, and availability violations through SQL injection, potentially enabling data exfiltration, modification, or disruption within the application's database.
