CVE-2026-49324: Indian Scout Bobber 2025 WCM brute-force
Uncontrolled resource consumption in the Wireless Control Module (WCM) of the Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model year allows an adjacent-network attacker with write access to the in-vehicle network to permanently immobilize the motorcycle. The WCM enforces a brute-force lockout on the immobilizer authentication algorithm, but the lockout counter is reachable by any unauthenticated message, has no session binding, and does not reset on power cycle. An attacker can deliberately trip the lockout with a small number of crafted frames, leaving the bike un-startable until dealer service. Specific thresholds have been withheld pending vendor remediation.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This issue can let someone with access to the motorcycle’s in-vehicle network intentionally lock the immobilizer, leaving a 2025 Indian Scout Bobber + Tech unable to start until dealer service. It is not described as remotely exploitable over the internet.
Executive priority
Treat as a targeted disruption risk, not a broad remote compromise. Prioritize affected high-value, fleet, or customer-facing bikes, especially where many people have physical or service access.
Technical view
The WCM brute-force lockout counter can be advanced by unauthenticated messages, is not session-bound, and persists across power cycles. The result is a denial-of-service condition affecting availability. The CVE maps to CWE-307, CWE-400, and CWE-770 with CVSS 4.6.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to 2025 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech models where an attacker can gain write access to the in-vehicle network. Owners, dealers, rental fleets, and service environments should consider physical and diagnostic access controls.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not indicate active exploitation, and CISA KEV status is false. Specific lockout thresholds were withheld pending remediation. Practical exploitation requires close or physical access to vehicle communications, but impact is disruptive once access exists.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports an immobilizer denial-of-service via unauthenticated WCM lockout counter manipulation. Do not publish thresholds or reproduce lockouts on live vehicles. Vendor remediation details are not provided in the source bundle.
Mitigation direction
Check Indian Motorcycle and dealer advisories for WCM remediation or service instructions.
Restrict physical and diagnostic access to affected motorcycles.
Avoid leaving affected vehicles unattended in untrusted service or storage environments.
Document affected VINs and WCM software status through authorized service channels.
Do not attempt lockout testing on operational motorcycles.
Validation and detection
Inventory 2025 Scout Bobber + Tech motorcycles in ownership or service.
Confirm WCM status and available updates with an authorized dealer.
Review who can access diagnostic ports or in-vehicle network interfaces.
Track CVE and ASRG advisory updates for remediation details.
Verify recovery procedures before any security assessment.
