AI Analysis

Impact

Improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts in the BiHayat App allows an attacker to bypass the OTP verification that is intended to authenticate users. This flaw can enable an unauthorized party to access accounts or services protected by two‑factor authentication, compromising both confidentiality and integrity. The weakness maps to CWE-307, illustrating a failure to enforce authentication policy.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the BiHayat App distributed by Bahçelievler Muncipality. All releases from version 2.1.7 through 07092026 contain the flaw. No fixed release is currently available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.4 places this vulnerability in the Critical range, indicating that a successful exploitation would give attackers total control over authentication. Although the EPSS score is unavailable, the absence of a CISA KEV listing does not reduce the likelihood that attackers will target the app; the flaw permits a straightforward bypass with minimal effort, as no special privileges or pre‑condition actions are described. The attack vector is likely remote and can be performed from within the mobile application, without the need for physical access to the device.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply a newer version of BiHayat App that omits the flaw, ensuring it is beyond 07092026
  • Implement strict rate limiting and lockout policies on authentication attempts to prevent repeated OTP requests
  • If no patch is available, disable OTP-based authentication temporarily and enforce an alternate secure login mechanism
  • Monitor authentication logs for abnormal OTP request patterns and investigate suspicious activities
