Security Summary

CVE-2025-2471 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Boat Booking System 1.0. The issue affects an unknown function within the file /boat-details.php, where manipulation of the 'bid' argument enables the injection. Recent CWE classifications include CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')).

The vulnerability allows remote exploitation over the network with low attack complexity and requires low privileges (PR:L), without user interaction. Successful attacks can result in low-level impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as scored at CVSS 6.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). An authenticated user with low privileges could manipulate the 'bid' parameter to inject malicious SQL payloads.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1213.006 Databases Collection
Adversaries may leverage databases to mine valuable information.
T1505 Server Software Component Persistence
Adversaries may abuse legitimate extensible development features of servers to establish persistent access to systems.
Why these techniques?

SQL injection in public-facing web application (/boat-details.php) enables exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190), data collection from databases via arbitrary SQL queries including blind and UNION techniques (T1213.006), and abuse of server software components as mapped in VulDB advisory (T1505).
