CVE-2026-49325: Indian Scout Bobber 2025 WCM voltage-based shutdown
Improper handling of physical conditions in the bike-shutdown control of the Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech 2025 model year allows a physical attacker with access to the Wireless Control Module (WCM) wiring harness to bypass the anti-theft shutdown. The WCM signals shutdown to a peer ECU via a falling-edge voltage transition on a dedicated wire pair. The receiving ECU does not distinguish between an active shutdown pulse and an open-circuit / disconnected condition; interrupting the relevant wires leaves the motorcycle fully operable even though the WCM never validated the rider's PIN. Specific connector details have been withheld pending vendor remediation.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This issue affects the 2025 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech. A person with physical access to specific WCM wiring could prevent the anti-theft shutdown from taking effect, allowing the motorcycle to remain operable without PIN validation. The source indicates connector details are withheld pending vendor remediation.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate physical theft-control weakness. Prioritize dealer or vendor confirmation for affected assets, especially fleets or high-theft-risk environments. There is no sourced evidence of remote exploitation or active exploitation.
Technical view
The shutdown signal uses a falling-edge voltage transition between the Wireless Control Module and a peer ECU. The receiving ECU reportedly does not distinguish a valid shutdown pulse from an open-circuit or disconnected condition. The CVSS score is 4.6, physical attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction, with high availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to physical attackers who can access the relevant WCM wiring harness on the 2025 Scout Bobber + Tech. The source bundle names no other affected models or years.
Exploitation context
No active exploitation is reported in the provided sources, and the CVE is not marked KEV. The scenario is physical tampering, not remote compromise. Specific connector details were intentionally withheld pending remediation.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE description and CWE reference. Do not assume other Indian Motorcycle models are affected. The public record withholds connector details, so validation should remain non-destructive and vendor-coordinated.
Mitigation direction
Check Indian Motorcycle guidance for service actions, recalls, or firmware/hardware remedies.
Restrict unattended physical access to affected motorcycles where practical.
Inspect WCM-area wiring for tampering during service or theft investigations.
Document affected inventory by model and year.
Validation and detection
Confirm whether the motorcycle is a 2025 Scout Bobber + Tech.
Review service records for WCM or ECU remediation notices.
Ask the vendor or dealer for CVE-specific remediation status.
Inspect relevant wiring areas for signs of unauthorized access.
