Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in Akinsoft QR Menu allows Authentication Bypass.
This issue affects QR Menu: from s1.05.07 before v1.05.12.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Akinsoft QR Menu has an OTP authentication weakness that can let an unauthenticated remote attacker bypass login protections. The affected range is from s1.05.07 before v1.05.12. For organizations using this product, the business concern is unauthorized access to QR Menu functionality and related data.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority patch and exposure review if Akinsoft QR Menu is used. Prioritize internet-facing systems first, then confirm version coverage across all business locations or hosted environments.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-307, improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts, in Akinsoft QR Menu. CVSS 3.1 is 8.6, with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. The record states confidentiality impact is high, with low integrity and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to Akinsoft QR Menu deployments running versions from s1.05.07 before v1.05.12. Publicly reachable deployments are higher concern because the CVSS vector indicates remote unauthenticated access.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability is still urgent because the CVSS vector indicates low-complexity, unauthenticated network exploitation if an affected deployment is reachable.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse beyond the CVE record and Turkish government advisory references. Do not assume broader Akinsoft product impact. Focus validation on QR Menu versioning, authentication telemetry, and whether affected instances are reachable from untrusted networks.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Akinsoft QR Menu to v1.05.12 or later where applicable.
Check Akinsoft or government advisory guidance before applying compensating controls.
Reduce external exposure until version status is confirmed.
Review authentication logs for unusual OTP attempt patterns.
Validation and detection
Inventory all Akinsoft QR Menu deployments and record exact versions.
Confirm no instance runs s1.05.07 through before v1.05.12.
Verify upgraded systems report v1.05.12 or later.
Check logs for repeated failed or abnormal OTP authentication attempts.

CWE-307: Exact CWE lookup
Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
