Security Summary

CVE-2025-2052 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Apartment Visitors Management System 1.0, affecting the processing of the /forgot-password.php file. The issue arises from improper handling of the 'contactno' argument, enabling SQL injection as classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection). It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and was published on 2025-03-07.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by attackers with low privileges, such as authenticated users, requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability through SQL injection, potentially enabling data exfiltration, modification, or disruption within the application's database.
