Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7190 is a critical vulnerability in code-projects Library Management System 2.0, affecting an unknown part of the file /admin/student_edit_photo.php. The issue arises from manipulation of the photo argument, enabling unrestricted file upload. Published on 2025-07-08, 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 is associated with CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) and CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type).
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability with low privileges, requiring no user interaction and low attack complexity. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling malicious file uploads that could lead to further compromise depending on the uploaded content.
Advisories and further details are documented in references such as VulDB entries (ctiid.315129, id.315129, submit.607202), a GitHub issue at github.com/y2xsec324/cve/issues/11, and code-projects.org.
