DescriptionCVE.org

Bendix EC80 Brake ECU is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds write, which could allow an attacker to deliver a payload that could establish an arbitrary write primitive, which could crash the ECU.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write across all Bendix EC80ESP Brake ECU variants enables an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent vehicle-network access to deliver a crafted payload that establishes an arbitrary write primitive, crashing the safety-critical brake Electronic Control Unit. Reported by ICS-CERT and documented in CISA advisory ICSA-26-237-05, all ten identified EC80ESP hardware configurations are affected with no version constraint specified in the CPE data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be adjacent to the target vehicle's in-vehicle network - specifically the CAN bus, J1708 bus, or another communication channel the EC80ESP ECU monitors - as confirmed by AV:A in the CVSS 4.0 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N indicates moderate-to-high technical risk for any attacker who achieves adjacency to the vehicle network, with low exploitation complexity and no authentication barrier. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consult the CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-237-05 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-237-05) and the associated CSAF document (https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-237-05.json) for vendor-supplied firmware patches - exact patched firmware versions are not confirmed in the available data and must be obtained directly from Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Bendix EC80ESP variants in fleet operation and implement vehicle network access controls or segmentation to restrict adjacent-network connectivity to brake ECUs. …
