We report on the first direct mass measurements of the ${}^{118,119}\mathrm{Cd}$ and ${}^{117–119}\mathrm{In}$ isotopes performed at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line facility using the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer. The masses of ${}^{117}\mathrm{In}$ and ${}^{118}\mathrm{Cd}$ isotopes are in agreement with the literature, while ${}^{118,119}\mathrm{In}$ and ${}^{119}\mathrm{Cd}$ differ from literature by 49, 13, and 85 keV (6.1, 1.9, and 2.1 standard deviations), respectively. The excitation energy of the ${}^{118}\mathrm{In}$ first isomeric state, $E_x=40.3\left(25\right)$ keV, was determined for the first time. The updated mass values removed the fluctuations observed in the two-neutron separation energies and led to a smoother linear decrease of both isotopic chains. The $log\left(ft\right)$ value for the ${}^{118}\mathrm{Cd}$ decay was also found to increase from 3.93(6) to 4.089(8). The reported results indicate an absence of significant structural changes around $N=70$.
