HIGH 7.5

DescriptionCVE.org

Sony XAV-AX8500 Bluetooth AVCTP Protocol Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 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 implementation of the Bluetooth AVCTP protocol. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-26290.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Sony XAV-AX8500 in-vehicle infotainment systems are vulnerable to remote code execution if an attacker can pair a malicious Bluetooth device, potentially compromising vehicle safety systems and user data. While the exploit requires physical proximity to pair a device, successful exploitation could allow attackers to control critical vehicle functions. Organizations operating vehicle fleets or providing these devices should prioritize patching to eliminate this attack vector.

Business Impact: Medium

Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: (1) Disable Bluetooth pairing discovery or restrict to known devices only; (2) Physically secure devices to limit attacker access for pairing; (3) Monitor device logs for unusual Bluetooth pairing attempts; (4) Segment in-vehicle networks to isolate infotainment systems from critical vehicle control systems where possible.

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.

Attack Technique

Buffer Overflow HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Remote Code Execution CRITICAL

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
