Description
Weak authentication in the Wireless Control Module (WCM) 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 user-set unlock PIN by passively observing a single PIN authentication exchange. The Infotainment Digital Round display computes its response using a non-cryptographic operation rather than a cryptographic challenge-response, so the PIN is mathematically derivable from one captured exchange, defeating the motorcycle's primary user-authentication control. Specific protocol details have been withheld pending vendor remediation.

Impact

Weak authentication in the Wireless Control Module of the Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model allows an attacker on an adjacent network, with read access to the in‑vehicle network, to recover the user‑set unlock PIN by passively observing a single authentication exchange. The infotainment system uses a non‑cryptographic operation to compute its response, making the PIN mathematically derivable, which undermines the motorcycle’s primary user‑authentication control and permits an attacker to unlock the vehicle without the user’s knowledge.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Indian Motorcycle vehicles, specifically the Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model year, where the infotainment digital round display communicates with the Wireless Control Module. No other products or older model years are listed, and the manufacturer identifies only the 2025 model as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.1 indicates moderate severity; the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack does not require advanced skills or credentials beyond proximity and the ability to read the local in‑vehicle network traffic. The exploit is passive, relying on a single captured exchange, and therefore is relatively easy to execute for an attacker within range.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Replace the non-cryptographic response computation with a digital signature (for example ECDSA P-256) or an HMAC over a fresh per-session random nonce, bound to a stable per-vehicle identifier to prevent cross-bike replay.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Deploy the vendor’s firmware update that replaces the weak non‑cryptographic response algorithm with a secure cryptographic challenge‑response, such as ECDSA P‑256 or HMAC over a fresh per‑session random nonce bound to a vehicle identifier
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules on the vehicle’s OBD/CAN interface to restrict the Wireless Control Module’s connectivity to the infotainment system, limiting the exposure to adjacent attackers
  • Configure the vehicle’s monitoring system to detect and alert on anomalous PIN authentication traffic or any unauthorized read attempts on the CAN bus, providing early warning of exploitation attempts
