| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to be within wireless range of the target 2025 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech - the description specifies 'adjacent-network' access (note: the CVSS vector assigns AV:P/Physical, which may understate reach; verify with vendor). The victim must actively perform a PIN authentication exchange on the Infotainment Digital Round display during the observation window - this is the UI:R constraint, meaning exploitation cannot proceed without a live authentication event. The PIN authentication feature must be configured and in active use on the vehicle. No attacker privileges are required (PR:N). Exploitation is bounded to confidentiality only (PIN recovery); no integrity or availability impact is introduced by this vulnerability alone. The limiting factors are: (1) proximity to the vehicle, (2) dependency on the victim initiating a PIN exchange, and (3) the 2025 model year and Scout Bobber + Tech trim specifically - no other models are confirmed affected. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.3 (Medium) score reflects meaningful attack constraints: AV:P (Physical), AC:L, PR:N, UI:R, C:H/I:N/A:N. However, a material discrepancy exists - the description characterizes the attacker as requiring 'adjacent-network' access, which in CVSS 3.1 maps to AV:A (Adjacent), not AV:P (Physical). If the actual attack surface is truly adjacent-network (e.g., Bluetooth range), the base score would increase and the attack surface is broader than the current vector suggests; this should be confirmed with the vendor or ASRG. The C:H rating is significant in context: the compromised asset is the vehicle's unlock PIN, the sole user-authentication control for the motorcycle - recovery of this PIN enables physical vehicle access. The UI:R constraint (victim must actively perform a PIN exchange during the observation window) meaningfully limits opportunistic mass exploitation but does not protect against targeted theft scenarios where an attacker can linger near the vehicle. No EPSS data was provided. The vulnerability is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified, suggesting it has not been weaponized at scale. Real-world risk is low for opportunistic attacks but moderate-to-high for targeted vehicle theft scenarios. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker positions themselves within Bluetooth or in-vehicle wireless range of a parked 2025 Scout Bobber + Tech and runs a passive radio capture tool. When the legitimate owner authenticates with their PIN on the Infotainment Digital Round display - for example, to unlock the motorcycle after a stop - the attacker's tool records the single authentication exchange. The attacker then applies the mathematical derivation (algorithm withheld pending remediation) off-line to recover the exact PIN, subsequently authenticating to the WCM to unlock the motorcycle. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 29, 2026
The Wireless Control Module (WCM) in the 2025 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech exposes the user-set vehicle unlock PIN through a fatally weak authentication design in the Infotainment Digital Round display. The display's PIN verification relies on a non-cryptographic computation, meaning a passive observer who captures a single complete authentication exchange from the in-vehicle network can mathematically recover the exact PIN - no brute-force or active interaction required. Reported by ASRG against a product manufactured by Polaris Inc., this vulnerability defeats the motorcycle's primary user-authentication control; it is not listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. The CVE description explicitly states protocol specifics are withheld pending vendor remediation, confirming Polaris Inc. and Indian Motorcycle have been notified by ASRG but have not yet released a firmware fix. Owners should monitor Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Inc. official security channels for a firmware update replacing the non-cryptographic PIN authentication mechanism with a cryptographically sound challenge-response design. As a compensating control, users should avoid performing PIN authentication exchanges in public or high-risk environments (e.g., crowded parking areas, locations with untrusted Bluetooth proximity), since the attack requires UI:R - a live authentication event - to capture the exchange; no event means no capture. Rotating the PIN periodically reduces the utility of a previously captured exchange but does not eliminate the vulnerability, as any new exchange is equally exploitable. No vendor advisory URL is currently available.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-1390 (Weak Authentication), which describes authentication mechanisms that are insufficiently strong to prevent credential recovery or reverse engineering. In this case, the Infotainment Digital Round display in the WCM computes its PIN authentication response using a non-cryptographic operation, making the mathematical relationship between the PIN and the observed network exchange deterministic and reversible from a single capture. A cryptographically secure challenge-response protocol (e.g., HMAC or asymmetric challenge) would produce unpredictable outputs that reveal nothing about the secret even across many observed exchanges - the absence of such a design is the core defect. The affected product is identified by CPE string cpe:2.3:a:indian_motorcycle_(polaris_inc.):scout_bobber_+_tech:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (Polaris Inc. manufacturer). The in-vehicle communication medium is consistent with automotive wireless channels (e.g., Bluetooth/BLE via the WCM), which are observable by an adjacent attacker without physical wire access. Specific protocol details have been withheld by ASRG pending vendor remediation.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
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.
