Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7520 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13. The flaw resides in the /admin/manage-category.php file, where the 'del' argument is processed without proper sanitization, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL payloads. 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 2025-07-13.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an authenticated user with low privileges, such as an admin-level account, requiring no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables SQL injection attacks, potentially resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption within the application's database.
Advisories and details are documented in references including VulDB entries (ctiid.316217, id.316217, submit.610578), a GitHub issue at github.com/f1rstb100d/myCVE/issues/121, and the vendor site phpgurukul.com. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of active exploitation.
Notable context includes the public availability of the exploit, with no confirmed real-world attacks reported in the provided information.
