  • Roadways to Exploit and Secure Connected BMW Cars
    0-days & Mitigations: Roadways to Exploit and Secure Connected BMW Cars Zhiqiang Cai, Aohui Wang, Wenkai Zhang {zhiqiangcai, aohwang, wenkaizhang}@tencent.com with contributions from: Michael Gruffke, Hendrik Schweppe {michael.gruffke, hendrik.schweppe}@bmwgroup.com Abstract In years 2016 and 2017, Keen Security Lab[1] has demonstrated two remote attacks against Tesla Model S/X[2][3]; During a study conducted between early 2017 and early 2018, Keen Security Lab successfully implemented exploit chains on multiple BMW car models through physical access and a remote approach without user interaction. At that time, following a responsible disclosure procedure common in the security industry, Keen Security Lab released a security assessment report[4] to make a brief vulnerabilities disclosure, instead of a full disclosure. The security findings by Keen Security Lab were verified by BMW shortly after having received. All issues were addressed, and fixes and mitigations have been rolled out. In this paper, we will share the findings with the public, introducing system architecture of BMW cars, analyzing external attack surfaces from a security perspective. We will then give details about multiple vulnerabilities that existed in two vehicle components: NBT Head Unit[5] (a.k.a. In-Vehicle Infotainment[7]) and Telematic Communication Box[8]. By having leveraged these vulnerabilities, it has proven the possibilities of arbitrary code execution in the Head Unit via common external interfaces including USB, Ethernet and OBD-II, as well as a more powerful remote exploitation of Telematic Communication Box over a fake mobile network with the payload delivered in HTTP and Short Message Service (SMS).
