Title
Use of hard-coded cryptographic key in Acrisure KARR BT and DR-100
Summary
The KARR Security System and SWDS dealer-installed automotive anti-theft systems use a shared Bluetooth authentication key across affected devices. An attacker within Bluetooth range can leverage this weakness to issue unauthorized commands to the vehicle, potentially allowing unauthorized access to vehicle functions, including door unlocking and engine immobilization.
