Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-2642 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Art Gallery Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in an unknown functionality of the file /admin/edit-art-product-detail.php?editid=2, where manipulation of the arguments editid, sprice, or description enables the injection. Classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89, 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) and was published on 2025-03-23.
Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts including low-level confidentiality breaches (e.g., data disclosure), integrity alterations (e.g., data modification), and availability disruptions (e.g., denial of service on affected components).
Advisories referenced in VulDB entries (ctiid.300657, id.300657, submit.519769) document the issue, while a GitHub repository (liuhao2638/cve/issues/3) discloses a public exploit. The vendor site at phpgurukul.com provides context on the affected software, though specific patch details are not detailed in available references.
The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of real-world attacks against exposed instances of this management system.
