PerfektBlue: Universal 1-click Exploit to Pwn Automotive Industry…
summary
Claim: a chained exploit against BluesDK yields universal one-click remote code execution on millions of IVI units (confirmed on Volkswagen ID4, Skoda, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz). It combines four bugs—an L2CAP remote channel ID flaw, ARFCOM test-response out‑of‑bounds leak, and an AVRCP use‑after‑free plus heap spray—to bypass ASLR/CFI/shadow‑stack, build arbitrary read/write and function call primitives, resolve libc addresses, and spawn a reverse shell; demonstration shows near‑100% stability on the ID4.
