CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9598 – itsourcecode – Apartment Management System
CVE-2025-9598
A security flaw has been discovered in itsourcecode Apartment Management System 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /setting/year_setup.php. Performing manipulation of the argument txtXYear results in sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited.
AI Summary Analysis
Risk verdict
High risk: remote SQL injection with publicly available exploit guidance increases opportunistic exploitation potential against web-facing deployments.
Why this matters
Attackers can read or modify tenant data and potentially disrupt service without user interaction. If unpatched, the vulnerability could lead to data leakage, integrity issues or downtime, with possible regulatory or reputational impact for organisations hosting the system.
Most likely attack path
No authentication required and network-accessible; attacker targets the /setting/year_setup.php endpoint via the txtXYear parameter to induce SQL injection. Successful exploitation could expose or corrupt data with low attacker effort (AC:L, PR:N, UI:N). Given the scope and impact indicators, lateral movement is plausible if the app shares databases or credentials with other services.
Who is most exposed
Web deployments that are publicly reachable and not protected by a web application firewall or strong input validation—common in small-business or self-hosted setups using this type of PHP-based management system.
Detection ideas
- Abnormal or crafted requests to year_setup.php containing unusual txtXYear values (quotes, unions, sleep/time-based payloads)
- Database error messages or slow queries linked to the injection point
- Elevated error counts or 500s from the app around the vulnerable endpoint
- WAF/IPS alerts for SQLi signatures targeting txtXYear parameters
- Unusual authentication or admin-access attempts correlated with the endpoint
Mitigation and prioritisation
- Apply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version as a first step; if unavailable, implement input validation and parameterized queries immediately
- Implement a Web Application Firewall rule to block SQLi patterns at the edge
- Restrict access to the endpoint (IP allowlisting, authentication, or network-level controls)
- Monitor and alert on suspicious queries to the vulnerable file; correlate with data exfiltration indicators
- Change-management: test fixes in staging, deploy promptly; document remediation actions; EPSS not provided, KEV absent, but treat as high-priority risk given public PoC and CVSS impact indicators.
