CVE-2026-1816 Turkiye Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEİAŞ) CVE debrief

Who should care

Organizations and users running TEİAŞ Mobile Application versions from 1.6.2 up to, but not including, 1.13 should care most. Security teams responsible for account protection, authentication controls, and mobile-app backend monitoring should also review exposure and update plans.

Technical summary

The issue is classified as CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts). According to the supplied NVD metadata, the CVSS v3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, which is consistent with a remotely reachable authentication weakness where an attacker with limited privileges and user interaction may be able to repeatedly attempt logins. The supplied source reference is a USOM/TEİAŞ security notice link, and NVD lists the vulnerability status as Deferred.

Defensive priority

Medium. Prioritize remediation if the mobile app is in active use, protects sensitive accounts, or sits behind other identity systems that could be abused for account takeover. The combination of brute-force exposure and high confidentiality impact makes timely mitigation important, even though user interaction is required.

Recommended defensive actions

• Upgrade the TEİAŞ Mobile Application to version 1.13 or later.
• Confirm whether authentication throttling, lockout, step-up verification, or CAPTCHA-style controls are enforced server-side as well as in the client.
• Review logs for repeated failed authentication attempts and unusual login patterns.
• Enable or strengthen MFA where available to reduce the value of brute-force attempts.
• Validate that rate limiting and account protection controls apply consistently across all authentication endpoints used by the app.

Evidence notes

The CVE was published and last modified on 2026-05-21 in the provided data. NVD metadata marks the vulnerability status as Deferred. The vendor attribution in the supplied corpus is weak/uncertain, so the debrief keeps the product reference aligned to the description rather than asserting additional vendor details.
