DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in PHPGurukul News Portal Project 4.1. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /admin/add-subadmins.php. This manipulation of the argument sadminusername causes sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in PHPGurukul News Portal Project 4.1 allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary SQL queries via the sadminusername parameter in /admin/add-subadmins.php. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed with exploit code available, though exploitation requires high-privilege admin access (PR:H) and carries low to moderate real-world risk despite a CVSS score of 4.7.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE-89) stemming from insufficient input validation on the sadminusername parameter in the administrative subadmin management endpoint. PHPGurukul News Portal Project is a PHP-based content management system, and the affected code path (/admin/add-subadmins.php) processes user input directly into SQL queries without parameterized statements or proper escaping. The attack vector is network-accessible (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), but requires admin-level privileges (PR:H), restricting the threat model to insider threats or compromised administrative accounts.

RemediationAI

Immediate action requires upgrading to a patched version of PHPGurukul News Portal Project; consult the vendor at phpgurukul.com for the latest release with SQL injection fixes. As an interim mitigation, restrict administrative panel access (/admin/) via network access controls, web application firewall (WAF) rules filtering for SQL metacharacters in the sadminusername parameter, and database account privilege separation (least-privilege principle for the application's DB user). Monitor database and admin logs for suspicious subadmin creation attempts containing SQL syntax (e.g., single quotes, UNION, SELECT keywords).
