CVE-2025-45021Public exploit

Authenticated arbitrary SQL execution via email parameter

Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025

SQL injection in PHPGurukul Directory Management System 2.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL through a crafted POST email value. The admin/edit-directory.php handler passes the email field into an SQL operation, and a time-based blind payload controls the response delay. Valid administrator credentials and access to the edit-directory workflow are required; exploitation permits database reads or changes within the application's database privileges.
