CVE-2026-49323 Details
Description
Weak authentication between the Wireless Control Module (WCM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM) of the Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model year allows an adjacent-network attacker with read access to the in-vehicle network to recover the per-vehicle ECM immobilizer secret by passively observing a single seed/key exchange. The WCM derives its response using a reversible, non-cryptographic operation rather than a cryptographic challenge-response, so the persistent immobilizer secret can be reconstructed from one captured exchange. With this secret the attacker can authenticate to the ECM independently of the WCM and start the engine, defeating the immobilizer. Specific protocol details have been withheld pending vendor remediation.
A vulnerability exists in the Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model year due to weak authentication between the Wireless Control Module (WCM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM). This flaw allows an adjacent-network attacker with read access to the in-vehicle network to intercept and recover the ECM immobilizer secret by passively observing a single seed/key exchange. The WCM incorrectly uses a reversible, non-cryptographic operation for authentication, enabling the reconstruction of the immobilizer secret from just one captured exchange. With this secret, an attacker can authenticate to the ECM, bypassing the WCM, and start the engine, effectively disabling the immobilizer.
