CVE-2025-9645: Apartment Management System SQLi Flaw

CVE-2025-9645 Overview

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in itsourcecode Apartment Management System version 1.0. This vulnerability exists in an unknown part of the file /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php, where improper handling of the mid parameter allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL statements. The attack can be initiated remotely without authentication, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive database information in apartment management systems, compromising tenant data and system integrity.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-9645

Vulnerability Analysis

This SQL injection vulnerability affects the /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php file within the Apartment Management System. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), commonly referred to as "Injection." The attack can be executed remotely via the network without requiring any authentication or user interaction, making it accessible to unauthenticated attackers.

The vulnerable endpoint processes the mid parameter without proper input validation or sanitization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands that are then executed by the database engine. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or in severe cases, complete database compromise.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is improper input validation and failure to use parameterized queries or prepared statements when handling user-supplied input in the mid parameter. The application directly incorporates user input into SQL queries without sanitization, creating a classic SQL injection attack surface.

Attack Vector

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests to the /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php endpoint, manipulating the mid parameter to inject SQL commands. Since no authentication is required, any network-accessible instance of the vulnerable application is at risk.

The exploitation technique involves appending SQL syntax to the mid parameter value. This could include UNION-based injection for data extraction, boolean-based blind injection for inferring database contents, or time-based blind injection techniques. The vulnerability allows partial impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-9645

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual SQL error messages appearing in application logs related to /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php
• HTTP requests to /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php containing SQL keywords or special characters in the mid parameter (e.g., ', --, UNION, SELECT)
• Database query logs showing unexpected or malformed queries originating from the dashboard module
• Abnormal database access patterns or data extraction attempts

Detection Strategies

• Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in the mid parameter
• Implement real-time monitoring of HTTP requests to /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php for suspicious payloads
• Enable detailed logging on database servers to capture unusual query patterns
• Use SentinelOne Singularity Platform to detect exploitation attempts and anomalous web application behavior

Monitoring Recommendations

• Configure alerting for any access attempts to /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php containing SQL metacharacters
• Monitor database connection logs for queries with unexpected syntax or excessive data retrieval
• Implement rate limiting on the vulnerable endpoint to slow down automated exploitation attempts

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-9645

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict network access to the Apartment Management System to trusted IP addresses only
• Implement input validation on the mid parameter to accept only expected values (e.g., numeric IDs)
• Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint
• Consider taking the vulnerable application offline until a patch is available

Patch Information

As of the last update on 2025-09-02, no official vendor patch has been released for this vulnerability. Organizations using Admerc Apartment Management System 1.0 should contact the vendor through IT Source Code for patch availability and consider implementing the workarounds below. Monitor VulDB for updates on remediation guidance.

Workarounds

• Modify the /t_dashboard/r_all_info.php file to use prepared statements or parameterized queries for the mid parameter
• Implement a web application firewall with SQL injection detection rules in front of the application
• Add server-side input validation to ensure the mid parameter only accepts integer values
• Restrict access to the dashboard functionality to authenticated and authorized users only

# Example: Restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint via Apache configuration
<Location "/t_dashboard/r_all_info.php">
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>
