CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9592 – itsourcecode – Apartment Management System

Risk verdict

High risk: remote SQL injection with a publicly available exploit, no authentication required; exploitation is plausible and worrisome.

Why this matters

Compromise could expose or corrupt tenant data and enable data exfiltration or manipulation from the manager system. With no user interaction needed, an attacker can directly access the database, potentially affecting availability and undermining trust in the app.

Most likely attack path

An attacker sends crafted input via the vid parameter to bill_info.php, triggering an SQL injection due to unsafe query handling. With AV:N, UI:N, PR:N, the attack requires no privileges or user action and can be executed over the network, risking data leakage or modification within the application’s DB scope; lateral movement would depend on the DB and surrounding environment.

Who is most exposed

Typically deployed on public-facing web servers (often SMBs) running PHP-based admin systems; older versions (1.0) and misconfigured database credentials increase exposure across smaller organisations or poorly patched deployments.

Detection ideas

• Unusual or verbose SQL error messages from bill_info.php
• Abnormal vid parameter values or spikes in requests to bill_info.php
• Elevated DB query volume or anomalous UNION/SELECT patterns in logs
• Web application firewall alerts for SQLi patterns
• DB auditing logs showing out-of-pattern access from the web app

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version as a priority.
• If patching is not immediately possible, enforce parameterised queries and input validation; implement prepared statements.
• Restrict access to bill_info.php (IP whitelisting, WAF rules, or UI access controls).
• Improve DB credentials handling and rotate credentials; enable strict least-privilege for the app user.
• Schedule a rapid change window with testing in a staging environment; monitor for exploitation indicators.
• If KEV is confirmed or EPSS ≥ 0.5 when data becomes available, treat as priority 1.
