Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE-2025-50489 is a critical security vulnerability in PHPGurukul Student Result Management System v2.0. This vulnerability stems from improper session invalidation in the \/srms\/change-password.php component and can result in a session hijacking attack. It poses a significant risk to educational institutions and potentially students’ sensitive data, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-50489
\nSeverity: High (7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

PHPGurukul Student Result Management System | v2.0<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of an improper session invalidation mechanism in the \/srms\/change-password.php component of the application. By manipulating the session tokens, an attacker could potentially hijack a user’s session. This could grant the attacker unauthorized access to the system under the guise of a legitimate user, leading to unauthorized data access or even system compromise.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider the following conceptual HTTP request that an attacker might use:<\/p>\n

GET \/srms\/change-password.php?session_id=VULNERABLE_SESSION_ID HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.edu<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker is attempting to access the change-password.php page using a session ID that they have either guessed, stolen, or otherwise obtained illicitly. If the session invalidation is not handled correctly, this could allow the attacker to hijack the session associated with that ID, effectively impersonating the legitimate user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
