Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber and Tech 2025. This affects an unknown function of the component Wireless Control Module. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a expected behavior violation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-440. A feature, API, or function does not perform according to its specification. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Expected behavior violation in the in-vehicle network of the Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model year allows an adjacent-network attacker to bypass the motorcycle's anti-theft shutdown by forcing the Wireless Control Module (WCM) into the CAN bus-off state. Using a well-known CAN error-frame injection technique against a periodic WCM transmission, the attacker drives the WCM CAN controller's transmit error counter past the bus-off threshold, after which the WCM stops transmitting all messages, including the shutdown command. Peer ECUs do not interpret WCM silence as a security event and continue normal operation, allowing the motorcycle to be operated despite the immobilizer never having been unlocked. Specific protocol details have been withheld pending vendor remediation.

The weakness was disclosed by Scott Sheahan. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-49316 since 05/29/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement.
