DescriptionCVE.org

Sony XAV-AX8500 Bluetooth Packet Handling Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected Sony XAV-AX8500 devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the handling of Bluetooth packets. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the elysian-bt-service process. Was ZDI-CAN-26283.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity remote code execution vulnerability affects Sony XAV-AX8500 in-vehicle infotainment systems, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code after pairing a malicious Bluetooth device. Organizations deploying these devices in fleet vehicles or connected car environments face potential compromise of vehicle systems and data.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. Interim mitigations if patching is delayed: disable Bluetooth functionality on non-critical systems, restrict physical access to prevent unauthorized device pairing, implement network segmentation to isolate affected devices from critical infrastructure, and monitor for suspicious Bluetooth connection attempts.

What every action level means
Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.
Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.
This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.
This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.
Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
