| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-5658 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the PHPGurukul Complaint Management System 2.0, specifically in the /admin/updatecomplaint.php file. The vulnerability occurs because the 'status' parameter is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in SQL queries. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely, which can manipulate the database in unauthorized ways. [1, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can impact you by allowing attackers to perform unauthorized database operations such as accessing sensitive data, tampering with data, or causing denial of service. It threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, potentially leading to data leakage, data manipulation, and full system compromise, which can disrupt business continuity. [2, 3]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the "status" parameter in the /admin/updatecomplaint.php file for SQL injection. One method is to use time-based blind SQL injection payloads, such as: status=in process' WHERE 4543=4543 AND (SELECT 5549 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))GKGv)-- uQRZ. Tools like sqlmap can be used to automate detection by targeting the "status" parameter with high-level testing. Additionally, Google dorking with queries like "inurl:admin/updatecomplaint.php" can help identify vulnerable targets. [2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Implementing prepared statements with parameter binding to prevent SQL injection by separating SQL code from user input. 2) Enforcing strict input validation and filtering on the "status" parameter to ensure only expected data is accepted. 3) Restricting database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding use of high-privilege accounts such as 'root' or 'admin' for routine operations. If possible, consider replacing the affected component with an alternative product as no known countermeasures are currently documented. [2, 3]
