Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) to ensure only authorized personnel can adjust Drive Thru speaker settings. 2. Enforce network segmentation to isolate the assistant platform from broader corporate networks, limiting attack surface exposure. 3. Monitor and log all commands related to audio system adjustments to detect anomalous or unauthorized activities promptly. 4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on authorization mechanisms within the assistant platform. 5. Until patches are available, consider deploying compensating controls such as multi-factor authentication for access to the platform. 6. Engage with RBI vendor support to obtain timelines for patches or workarounds. 7. Train staff to recognize and report unusual Drive Thru behavior that could indicate exploitation. 8. Review and harden firewall and intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS) rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts to the assistant platform.

Description

The Restaurant Brands International (RBI) assistant platform through 2025-09-06 allows remote attackers to adjust Drive Thru speaker audio volume.

Impact

For European organizations operating RBI franchises, this vulnerability could lead to operational disruptions in Drive Thru services, which are a significant revenue channel. Attackers adjusting speaker volume could cause miscommunication with customers, leading to order errors, customer dissatisfaction, and potential loss of business. While the confidentiality impact is low, the availability impact could affect customer experience and brand reputation. In high-traffic locations, such disruptions could cause queues and delays, impacting overall service efficiency. Additionally, if attackers use this as a foothold, it could lead to further exploitation within the network. The lack of patches increases the risk window, and organizations relying heavily on the assistant platform must prioritize mitigation. The threat is more pronounced in countries with dense RBI franchise networks and high Drive Thru usage, where operational continuity is critical.

CWE-863Incorrect Authorization (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #17OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
