CVE-2025-9472 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Apartment Management System. The vulnerability is located in the processing of the /owner_utility/add_owner_utility.php file, specifically involving the manipulation of the 'ID' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw without requiring authentication or user interaction, by injecting malicious SQL code into the 'ID' argument. This allows the attacker to interfere with the backend database queries executed by the application. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, categorized as medium severity. The vector metrics indicate that the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and no scope change (S:U). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low to medium, suggesting that the attacker could potentially read or modify some data but not fully compromise the system or escalate privileges. Although no public exploit is confirmed to be in the wild, the exploit code has been made public, increasing the risk of exploitation. The lack of available patches or mitigation links indicates that users of this software must take immediate protective measures. SQL Injection vulnerabilities are critical because they can lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or denial of service, depending on the database and application context. In this case, the vulnerability affects a property management system, which likely handles sensitive tenant and property data, increasing the risk of data breaches or operational disruption.

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. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal information, financial data, or property details, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Additionally, attackers could manipulate or delete records, disrupting property management operations and causing financial and reputational damage. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers could target multiple installations across Europe, especially those with internet-facing management portals. The medium severity rating suggests that while full system compromise is unlikely, the impact on data integrity and availability could still be substantial, potentially affecting service continuity and compliance obligations.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'ID' parameter in /owner_utility/add_owner_utility.php. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize the 'ID' input and prevent injection. 3. Restrict direct internet access to the management system by placing it behind VPNs or secure access gateways to limit exposure. 4. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated failed attempts to exploit the vulnerability. 5. If possible, isolate the database with strict access controls and least privilege principles to minimize damage in case of exploitation. 6. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches and apply them promptly once available. 7. Educate administrators and users on the risks and signs of exploitation to enable rapid incident response. 8. Regularly back up critical data and test restoration procedures to mitigate potential data loss.
