CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9600 – itsourcecode – Apartment Management System

Risk verdict

High risk: publicly disclosed remote SQL injection with unauthenticated access; exploitation appears feasible where the vulnerable endpoint is internet-facing.

Why this matters

Allows an attacker to exfiltrate or manipulate data and potentially disrupt service without user credentials. Given the exposure and ease of payloads, targeted tenants or financial records could be at risk, with potential regulatory and reputational consequences for operators hosting the system.

Most likely attack path

An attacker, over the network, calls the vulnerable endpoint /setting/member_type_setup.php and supplies crafted input in txtMemberType. With no authentication or user interaction required, the injection can alter or read database content (C/L I/L A/L impacts) and may enable further access since the Scope remains unchanged. The combination of AV:N, AC:L, PR:N, UI:N indicates a straightforward, low-effort exploit once the endpoint is reachable.

Who is most exposed

Installations hosting the web UI on internet-accessible servers (common in on-prem or cloud VM deployments) are most at risk, especially where input is poorly sanitised and administrative endpoints are publicly reachable.

Detection ideas

• Web server/app logs show requests to member_type_setup.php with suspicious txtMemberType values or SQL-like syntax.
• SQL error messages or database traceback exposed to clients.
• WAF alerts for SQLi patterns (1=1, UNION SELECT, etc.) targeting the endpoint.
• Unusual spikes in database query latency or error rates from authenticationless endpoints.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version; verify patching in staging before production.
• Implement parameterised queries and strict input validation for all endpoints handling txtMemberType.
• Restrict access to administrative endpoints behind VPN or require authentication; implement least-privilege DB accounts.
• Deploy web application firewall rules to block SQLi payloads and monitor for related IOCs.
• Document patch window, test regression impact, and rotate credentials if exposure is suspected.
