CVSS 8.8 HIGH

Risk Summary

ATTENTION: Remotely exploitable/low skill level to exploit. Public exploits are available.

Remediations

  • Continental has validated the reported vulnerabilities but has not yet identified a mitigation plan.
  • Nissan and Infiniti have issued Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) asking dealers to advise customers of the issue and offer a free 2G TCU deactivation. Nissan/Infiniti's 2G cellular service provider no longer provides 2G services in the U.S. The subject 2G TCUs are no longer connected to telematics services and no longer perform any function in the affected vehicles. Nissan/Infiniti have stated that this campaign is being performed out of abundance of caution to help safeguard against potential cybersecurity issues.
  • Nissan/Infiniti proposes that users contact their local Infiniti or Nissan dealers to have the subject 2G TCUs deactivated free of charge.
  • BMW has validated the vulnerabilities and will be offering a service measure to affected customers.
  • Ford, since 2016, has had a customer satisfaction program to update or disable legacy 2G modems and there are a limited number of vehicles left on the market. Ford is reviewing the researcher's findings through internal processes and evaluating the need for any additional steps.
