CVE-2025-4916
📋 TL;DR
This critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Auto Taxi Stand Management System 1.0 allows attackers to manipulate database queries via the mobilenumber parameter in /admin/admin-profile.php. Remote attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive data. All users running version 1.0 without proper input validation are affected.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including admin credential theft, data exfiltration, and potential system takeover via SQL injection leading to remote code execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive data including user information, financial records, and administrative credentials stored in the database.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or partial data exposure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://phpgurukul.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation for the mobilenumber parameter to only accept numeric values within expected length ranges.
Modify /admin/admin-profile.php to add: if(!is_numeric($_POST['mobilenumber']) || strlen($_POST['mobilenumber']) > 15) { die('Invalid input'); }
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/admin-profile.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the mobilenumber parameter (e.g., ' OR '1'='1).Check Version:
Check system documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that input validation is properly implemented.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts to admin interface
- Suspicious parameter values in web server logs
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database connection patterns
- SQL error messages in HTTP responses
- Requests with SQL keywords in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (url="/admin/admin-profile.php" AND (param="mobilenumber" AND value CONTAINS "' OR" OR value CONTAINS "UNION" OR value CONTAINS "SELECT"))
