Deeper analysis

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the edit-ticket.php file of PHPGurukul Park Ticketing Management System v2.0, tracked as CVE-2025-45017. The flaw, assigned CWE-89, permits unsanitized input in the tprice POST parameter to be passed directly into SQL queries, enabling attackers to manipulate database operations.

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit the issue over the network by submitting crafted POST requests to the affected endpoint. Successful exploitation grants full read, write, and delete access to the database, allowing arbitrary code execution with complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected in the CVSS 9.8 score.

Public references consist of GitHub proof-of-concept disclosures that detail the injection vector but contain no vendor advisories, patches, or official mitigation guidance.

The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0192 on 2026-02-24 before receding to the current value of 0.0068, indicating a temporary increase in exploitation interest following disclosure.
