PSA - Security Flaw in 2009-2020* Acura/Honda Keyfobs

Post by coolhandluke » Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:44 am

This is highly concerning:
https://github.com/HackingIntoYourHeart ... Rice-Patty
Summary:

A hacker can gain complete and unlimited access to locking, unlocking, controlling the windows, opening the trunk, and starting the engine of the target vehicle where the only way to prevent the attack is to either never use your fob or, after being compromised (which would be difficult to realize), resetting your fob at a dealership.

CONFIRMED Vehicles (despite the fact that this likely affects them all):
• 2009 Acura TSX
• 2016 Honda Accord V6 Touring Sedan
• 2017 Honda HR-V (CVE-2019-20626)
• 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback
• 2020 Honda Civic LX

This reminded me of VW's keyfobs also being vulnerable too. Not surprised they kept the same codes from the 90s up til nearly now...
