Operational Fix
Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps
Prioritize identifying and blocking network traffic targeting the QR Menu authorization bypass vulnerability, as it allows unauthenticated access to sensitive data. Given the vendor's lack of response, assume no patch is forthcoming and focus on containment and monitoring.
