Exploit via ODB port

Adversaries may exploit vehicle cybersecurity vulnerabilities by targeting the On-Board Diagnostics (ODB) port, enabling unauthorized access to a vehicle's internal systems. The ODB port is a critical interface used for vehicle diagnostics and maintenance, and it provides a gateway to the vehicle's electronic control units (ECUs).To execute this attack, adversaries might utilize specialized hardware or software tools to interact with the ODB port, sending malicious commands or manipulating the communication between the ODB port and the vehicle's ECUs. Such actions could lead to dangerous consequences, including unauthorized access to a vehicle's firmware, data exfiltration, or even remote control of the vehicle.The exploitation of the ODB port highlights the importance of securing vehicle interfaces against malicious access, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect both the vehicle and its occupants from potential threats.
