CVE-2025-7016

8.0 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

An improper access control vulnerability in Akın Software's QR Menu allows attackers to abuse authentication mechanisms, potentially gaining unauthorized access to administrative functions. This affects all QR Menu installations before version s1.05.12. The vulnerability stems from insufficient authentication checks in the application's access control logic.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Akın Software QR Menu
Versions: All versions before s1.05.12
Operating Systems: Any OS running QR Menu
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All default installations are vulnerable. The vulnerability is in the application code itself, not dependent on specific configurations.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise where attackers gain administrative privileges, modify menu items, access customer data, or disrupt business operations.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to administrative functions allowing menu manipulation, order tampering, or viewing of sensitive business data.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation and authentication hardening, though the vulnerability still exists in the application.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - QR Menu systems are typically internet-facing for customer access, making them directly accessible to attackers.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems could still be vulnerable to insider threats or compromised internal devices.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

The vulnerability requires some authentication abuse but appears to be straightforward to exploit based on the CWE-284 classification and high CVSS score.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: s1.05.12

Vendor Advisory: https://www.usom.gov.tr/bildirim/tr-26-0006

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download QR Menu version s1.05.12 or later from the vendor. 2. Backup current installation and data. 3. Stop the QR Menu service. 4. Install the updated version. 5. Restart the service. 6. Verify functionality.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Restrict access to QR Menu administration interfaces to trusted IP addresses only

Enhanced Authentication

all

Implement additional authentication layers such as IP whitelisting or multi-factor authentication for admin access

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls to limit who can reach the QR Menu administration interface
  • Monitor authentication logs for suspicious activity and implement alerting for failed or unusual authentication attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check the QR Menu version in the application settings or about page. If version is earlier than s1.05.12, the system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check application interface or configuration files for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

After patching, verify the version shows s1.05.12 or later and test authentication controls by attempting to access administrative functions with limited privileges.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful access
  • Authentication from unusual IP addresses
  • Access to administrative functions by non-admin users

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic patterns to administration endpoints
  • Authentication requests from unexpected sources

SIEM Query:

source="qr_menu" AND (event_type="auth_failure" OR event_type="admin_access") | stats count by src_ip, user
