CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9594 – itsourcecode – Apartment Management System

**Risk verdict**: High risk due to a remote, unauthenticated SQL injection reachable via a web endpoint, with a publicly disclosed exploit.

**Why this matters**: An attacker can read or modify database contents without user credentials, potentially exposing personal data and financial records or corrupting system data. In a property-management context, this may enable disclosure of tenant information, invoices, or service records, and could be leveraged as a foothold for further access.

**Most likely attack path**: An attacker sends a crafted request to the complain_info.php endpoint, injecting SQL through the vid parameter. No authentication or user interaction is required, so automated probes are feasible. If the database is on the same host, this can lead to data exfiltration or manipulation; lateral movement depends on the server and network segmentation.

**Who is most exposed**: Web-hosted deployments of the Apartment Management System that are accessible from the internet are at greatest risk, especially older versions with insufficient input sanitisation and weak access controls.

**Detection ideas**:

• Repeated requests to the endpoint with unusual or out-of-band vid values.
• SQL error messages or database error codes appearing in responses or logs.
• Anomalous query patterns or long-running queries in application and database logs.
• WAF/IDS alerts for SQLi signature patterns (UNION, SELECT, concatenation motifs).
• Data export or mass data retrieval indicators from the affected endpoint.

**Mitigation and prioritisation**:

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version; otherwise implement parameterised queries/prepared statements.
• Enforce input validation and strict least-privilege DB accounts; disable or tightly restrict the affected endpoint.
• Deploy a web application firewall with SQLi protection and monitor for anomalous access to complain_info.php.
• Network segmentation and access controls to limit web-app DB exposure; disable unnecessary remote access.
• Ensure comprehensive logging and alerting; perform a targeted remediation window and verify with tests.
• If KEV is true or EPSS ≥ 0.5, treat as priority 1. If not, prioritise within high-severity remediation windows.
