CVE-2025-5657Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via unneutralized uid parameter

Published Jun 5, 2025 · Updated Jun 5, 2025

SQL injection in /admin/manage-users.php in PHPGurukul Complaint Management System 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to alter database queries. The script incorporates the uid request argument into an SQL command without neutralizing SQL syntax, causing supplied input to change the command structure. An authenticated session that can reach the administrator page is required; successful injection can read, modify, or delete application database records.
