PHPGurukul Online Security Guards Hiring System CVE-2025-7791

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Organizations running this system should immediately upgrade to a patched version if available from phpgurukul.com, or implement the following compensating controls: (1) Restrict access to /admin/ endpoints to a whitelist of trusted IP addresses or VPN ranges - this eliminates remote access despite AV:N, with the trade-off of reduced administrative flexibility; (2) Disable the /admin/search.php functionality or remove the file entirely if search is not critical, eliminating the attack surface; (3) Implement HTML entity encoding of the searchdata parameter output using PHP's htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() functions - this requires code modification but is a low-risk fix; (4) Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to strip or reject payloads containing script tags or event handlers in the searchdata parameter, with possible false positives on legitimate search terms. Contact the vendor at phpgurukul.com to request patched versions or security updates. Vulnerable instances should be inventoried and users warned not to click untrusted admin search results.
