CVE-2026-6853
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in Başbelen Group Food Cafe Businesses Industry and Trade Ltd. Co. Pause+ Mobile App allows Authentication Bypass. This issue affects Pause+ Mobile App: from v1.0.6 before v1.5.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Pause+ Mobile App lacks proper rate limiting or account lockout controls on its authentication endpoints, allowing attackers to make unlimited login attempts. This improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts enables brute-force attacks to compromise user credentials and achieve authentication bypass.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Pause+ Mobile App deploymentIdentify if the Pause+ Mobile App is deployed in your environment. Check installed applications, mobile device management (MDM) systems, or internal app inventories for 'Pause+' mobile application presence.Affected if The Pause+ Mobile App is present in your environment.
-
Identify authentication endpointsReview application network traffic, API documentation, or proxy configuration to locate the authentication endpoints used by the Pause+ Mobile App (typically /login, /auth, or similar paths accepting user credentials.Affected if Authentication endpoints exist and are accessible.
-
Check for rate limiting configurationInspect the backend server, API gateway, or load balancer configuration for rate limiting rules on authentication endpoints. Look for settings like 'max_requests', 'throttle', or 'rate_limit' applied to login routes.Affected if No rate limiting rules are configured on authentication endpoints.
-
Verify account lockout policy existsReview user account management settings, identity provider configuration, or application security policies for account lockout or temporary disable rules after failed login attempts.Affected if No account lockout policy or account disabling mechanism is configured.
-
Test authentication attempt limits (authorized testing only)If you have explicit authorization, send multiple sequential login requests with invalid credentials to the authentication endpoint and observe if requests are blocked, delayed, or limited in any way.Affected if More than 10+ failed login attempts are allowed without any blocking, delay, or restriction.
You are affected if the Pause+ Mobile App is deployed and both rate limiting on authentication endpoints AND account lockout policies are missing or disabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement rate limiting on authentication endpoints, add account lockout policies after failed attempts, and consider additional controls like CAPTCHA or multi-factor authentication to prevent automated brute-force attacks.
