Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7162 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability affecting PHPGurukul Zoo Management System version 2.1. The flaw occurs in the processing of the 'cprice' argument within the file /admin/add-foreigners-ticket.php, enabling improper handling that leads to injection attacks. Published on 2025-07-08, it is associated with CWEs-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection).
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an attacker with low privileges (PR:L), requiring low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) over the network (AV:N). Exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L) within unchanged scope (S:U), as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3.

Directly requires validation and sanitization of untrusted inputs such as the 'cprice' parameter before they are concatenated into SQL statements.
Mandates timely remediation of known flaws such as the publicly disclosed SQL injection in /admin/add-foreigners-ticket.php.
Limits the privileges of accounts that can reach the vulnerable admin page, thereby reducing the scope of data an injected query can affect.
