CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9418 – itsourcecode – Apartment Management System

Risk verdict

High risk; remote, unauthenticated SQL injection with a publicly disclosed exploit. If KEV true or EPSS ≥ 0.5, treat as priority 1.

Why this matters

Attackers can directly manipulate the database via the vulnerable ID parameter, potentially exposing or altering tenant data and compromising system integrity. The public exploit increases the likelihood of automated scans and mass attempts, raising the chance of data leakage, service disruption, or credential exposure in property management workflows.

Most likely attack path

Attacker can reach addowner.php over the web without authentication, exploiting low complexity, no-UI-required SQL injection. The vulnerability affects the application layer with potential impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability; with no scope escalation, the attacker would stay within the vulnerable component but could exfiltrate or corrupt tenant/owner data and disrupt operations.

Who is most exposed

Web-facing deployments of itsourcecode Apartment Management System 1.0, especially in small to mid-size property management setups where older versions are still in use and exposed to internet traffic.

Detection ideas

• Repeated unusual ID parameter values in /owner/addowner.php requests.
• SQL error messages or middleware/database errors tied to user input.
• Anomalous query patterns or stack traces in application logs.
• WAF alerts for common SQLi payloads targeting PHP endpoints.
• Volume spikes of requests from single IPs or bot-like user agents.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version; if unavailable, implement strong input validation and use prepared statements for all queries.
• Enforce least-privilege DB accounts and disable direct access from web apps where possible; rotate credentials if exposure is suspected.
• Add or tighten WAF rules to block common SQLi payloads against addowner.php; monitor and alert on suspicious activity.
• Limit exposure: restrict access to the affected endpoint, require authentication, or move to a non-public network segment where feasible.
• Change-management: prioritise patching within the next maintenance window; if KEV true or EPSS ≥0.5, treat as priority 1.
