CVE-2025-5560
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was found in PHPGurukul Curfew e-Pass Management System 1.0. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown function of the file /index.php. The manipulation of the argument searchdata leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Curfew e-Pass Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the searchdata parameter in /index.php. The lack of proper input sanitization or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or complete system compromise.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm PHPGurukul Curfew e-Pass Management System is installedLocate the application web root directory. Look for the presence of /index.php and other expected PHP files (such as /header.php, /footer.php, /nav.php) in the web directory structure.Affected if The application files are found in the web root or a subdirectory accessible via HTTP.
-
Verify the exact version number is 1.0Search the source files for version strings. Check index.php, footer.php, or any include files for a version identifier (commonly displayed in the page footer). Also check README.txt or version.php if present in the installation.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 as stated in the affected versions.
-
Identify if searchdata parameter handling exists in index.phpOpen /index.php from the web root and locate the code handling the searchdata parameter. Look for dynamic SQL query construction (such as SELECT statements using the parameter directly in string concatenation or without prepared statements).Affected if The file contains SQL queries that incorporate the searchdata parameter without parameterized statements or input sanitization.
-
Confirm the vulnerable endpoint is accessibleTest that the /index.php page is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS and accepts the searchdata parameter via GET or POST request. Verify the parameter is processed by the application.Affected if The endpoint responds to requests with the searchdata parameter and processes input without immediate error blocking.
The environment is affected if the Curfew e-Pass Management System version 1.0 is installed with the vulnerable searchdata parameter in /index.php accessible and using unsanitized dynamic SQL queries.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations, especially in search functionality. Additionally, apply input validation and escaping, and verify the vendor has released an official patch.
