CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9599 – itsourcecode – Apartment Management System

Risk verdict

High risk due to remote, unauthenticated SQL injection with publicly available exploit; exploitation could occur without user interaction.

Why this matters

Attacker can read or modify database contents, exfiltrate sensitive data, or disrupt service, undermining confidentiality, integrity and availability. In a web-facing apartment management context, this enables tenant data exposure and potential downstream access to financial or operational records.

Most likely attack path

An attacker sends crafted input to /setting/month_setup.php (txtMonthName) over the network. With no authentication and no user interaction required, standard injection payloads could bypass input handling and leverage the DB user’s permissions to extract or alter data. The CVSS terms imply limited preconditions but potential full data compromise if the database privileges are excessive; lateral movement depends on subsequent queries and data access patterns in the app.

Who is most exposed

Web deployments of itsourcecode Apartment Management System v1.0, particularly installations exposed to the internet on PHP/LAMP stacks or hosted on shared/public infrastructure with permissive DB credentials.

Detection ideas

• Logs showing unusual or erroring queries tied to txtMonthName input.
• Repeated anomalous requests to month_setup.php with crafted values.
• SQL error messages or stack traces in application or web server logs.
• Unusual data access patterns or spikes in DB query latency.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Patch to fixed release or vendor guidance as a top priority; if unavailable, implement compensating controls.
• Enforce prepared statements/parameterised queries and strict input validation for all parameters, especially txtMonthName.
• Restrict DB account privileges (least privilege) and isolate the web app DB user from sensitive data.
• Deploy WAF rules to block common SQLi patterns; enable detailed logging and real-time alerting.
• Change-management: schedule rapid patch window; verify in staging before production. If KEV or EPSS data later indicate higher exploitation risk, elevate to Priority 1.
