Seriously Open That Makes Hondas ‘Remote-Starting’ Possible

In the new generation cars, the door or the ignition is no longer switch on and off there is not much left, many cars electronic to the locks and has one-button operation. Although this feature makes life easier, of course it is not perfect.

two researchers, Honda vehicles In his studies on the keyless lock system, he revealed a vulnerability of the system. Moreover, this problem is not easy to fix. Worse, this feature may be available in different models, especially Honda models.

Vulnerability in Honda cars

Researchers Kevin26000 and Wesley Li In the statement made by the company, it was also explained how the vulnerability called RollingPWN works. Accordingly, normally in Honda’s keyless lock system, an access code is generated every time a button is pressed. When a code is created under normal conditions, all previously created codes are rendered unusable. Like this with repetitive codes systems cannot be accessed. Researchers have shown that old code can be reloaded so that unwanted people can access the tools.

Researchers who want to uncover which models the deficit affects, 2012 with 2022 He worked on 10 different models produced between the years of These models were as follows:

• Honda Civic 2012
• Honda XR-V 2018
• Honda CR-V 2020
• Honda Accord 2020
• Honda Odyssey 2020
• Honda Inspire 2021
• Honda Fit 2022
• Honda Civic 2022
• Honda VE-1 2022
• Honda Breeze 2022

It won’t be easy to fix

According to the researchers who discovered this vulnerability, he states that this problem may occur not only in these models, but also in all cars that use similar infrastructure, especially other Honda models. The solution to the problem also creates a different dilemma. Because the first solution to the problem can be seen as OTA updateis not a viable alternative for many Honda models. Recalls of millions of vehicles also seem unlikely.

This vulnerability isn’t the first problem Honda has faced this year, either. In march It was revealed that the radio frequencies in the company’s cars could be infiltrated and these frequencies could be changed. In January, a similar Contact manipulation deficit came to the fore.
