July 8, 2022 – Researchers have discovered a vulnerability in Honda vehicles that could allow hackers to unlock doors and start the cars remotely. The security flaw has been named “RollingPWN,” and it affects all Honda models released between 2012 and 2022.
The flaw traces to the keyless entry system Honda cars use, as Kevin26000. They found the bug affects ten of the most popular Honda models, which leads them to believe it affects virtually all Hondas from 2012 onward.
The team suggests a solution requires a recall of all affected vehicles, but given how many Hondas use rolling codes, that doesn’t seem feasible. The researchers concluded by saying more research is coming, because they believe the bug affects many more vehicles — not just Hondas.
