CVE-2025-5612
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 has been found in PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System 1.2 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /reporting.php. The manipulation of the argument fullname leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Other parameters might be affected as well.
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.

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.
-
Identify installed versionLocate the application installation directory and check for version files, README files, or version constants within the source code. Common locations include a version.php file, config files, or the main index.php header comments.Affected if The installed version is 1.2 exactly, as this is the only affected version per the CVE.
-
Verify reporting.php existsSearch for the file 'reporting.php' within the web application's document root or source directory. This is the specific file containing the vulnerable fullname parameter.Affected if The file reporting.php exists in the application structure, indicating the vulnerable component is present.
-
Check application accessibilityDetermine if the web server is serving the application and if reporting.php is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS requests. Attempt to access the page through the web browser or curl command.Affected if The application and reporting.php are accessible over the network, exposing the vulnerability to remote attackers.
-
Confirm fullname parameter usageExamine the source code of reporting.php to verify it processes a 'fullname' parameter from user input, typically via $_GET or $_POST requests. Look for SQL queries that incorporate this parameter without sanitization.Affected if The fullname parameter from reporting.php is processed in SQL queries without parameterized queries, confirming the vulnerable code path exists.
If the system runs PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System version 1.2 with accessible reporting.php that processes the fullname parameter, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-5612.

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 parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all user inputs in reporting.php, particularly the fullname parameter. Conduct a full code audit to identify and remediate similar SQL injection vulnerabilities in other parameters and files.
