CVE-2025-9418 is a security vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Apartment Management System, specifically within the /owner/addowner.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'ID' parameter, which allows an attacker to perform SQL injection attacks. SQL injection occurs when untrusted input is concatenated directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization, enabling attackers to manipulate the database queries executed by the application. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploits are currently known to be actively used in the wild, the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, which may increase the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor at this time further elevates the risk for affected deployments. Given that the vulnerability affects a core function related to owner management, attackers could potentially extract sensitive personal or financial data stored in the apartment management system's database or alter records, impacting the integrity and confidentiality of tenant information.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Apartment Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of tenant and property management data. Unauthorized access to personal data could lead to privacy violations under GDPR regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Data manipulation could disrupt property management operations, causing financial losses and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, attackers could leverage it to gain persistent access or pivot to other internal systems if network segmentation is weak. The impact is particularly critical for property management companies handling large volumes of tenant data or operating in countries with strict data protection laws. Additionally, exploitation could undermine trust in digital property management solutions, slowing digital transformation efforts in the real estate sector.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the /owner/addowner.php script to prevent SQL injection. Organizations should conduct a thorough code review of all input handling in the application to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules can provide temporary protection while patches are developed. Network segmentation should be enforced to limit access to the apartment management system from untrusted networks. Monitoring and logging database queries and application logs for suspicious activity can help detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should engage with the vendor or developer community to obtain or develop patches and apply them promptly once available. Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the application environment are recommended to ensure no other vulnerabilities exist. Finally, organizations should review and update their incident response plans to address potential data breaches resulting from this vulnerability.
