    Bluetooth Flaw Exposes 2.2M Cars to Theft Risk

    Researchers found a Bluetooth vulnerability affecting at least 2.2 million vehicles with dealer-installed KARR and SWDS security devices. An attacker within about five yards could connect to the device, unlock doors, disable alarms, or prevent parked vehicles from starting. The flaw exists due to all devices using the same secret key. Dealers have been installing these systems since 2017, often without buyers' knowledge. Affected vehicles can be identified by a sticker on the window or a module under the dashboard. A firmware update is available through the official app, or the device can be removed.
