Overview
The PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System v1.13 has been identified as vulnerable to SQL Injection, a well-known and critical security flaw that potentially allows for system compromise and data leakage. This vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2025-45885. SQL Injection vulnerabilities arise when an application uses user-supplied data in SQL queries without properly validating or sanitizing it. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data corruption, and in some cases, full system takeover.
This vulnerability affects all systems running PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System v1.13 and is particularly concerning due to its severity and ease of exploitation. Affected organizations should take immediate steps to mitigate this risk.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of unvalidated and unsanitized user input in the ’emailcont’ parameter within the /vpms/users/login.php file. An attacker can inject malicious SQL code into this parameter, which is then included in SQL queries executed by the system. This allows the attacker to manipulate these queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data manipulation or even command execution.
Conceptual Example Code
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request like the following:
POST /vpms/users/login.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
emailcont=' OR '1'='1'; DROP TABLE users; --This request uses the classic SQL Injection payload `’ OR ‘1’=’1’` to bypass any login checks, followed by `DROP TABLE users; –` to delete the users table from the database. Note that this is a simple example for illustrative purposes; real-world attacks could be much more sophisticated and damaging.
Mitigation
Affected organizations should apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. If a patch is not immediately available or practical to apply, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be used to help mitigate this vulnerability by filtering out known harmful SQL Injection patterns. However, these are only temporary solutions and cannot fully eliminate the risk. The best course of action is to patch the system and ensure that user inputs are properly validated and sanitized before use in SQL queries.
