CVE-2026-49324: Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber resource consumption in WCM

CVE-2026-49324 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.6 · Published 2026-05-29

A vulnerability in the Wireless Control Module of the 2025 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech allows an attacker with physical access to the vehicle's internal network to permanently disable the motorcycle. By sending a small number of malicious messages, an attacker can trigger a security lockout that prevents the engine from starting. This lockout does not reset automatically and requires a professional dealer service to resolve, leading to significant operational disruption and repair costs.

Technologies: Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber + Tech. Vendors: Indian Motorcycle.

Technical details

The Wireless Control Module (WCM) fails to properly restrict access to its immobilizer lockout counter, leading to a denial-of-service condition. An attacker with write access to the in-vehicle network (e.g., via the CAN bus) can send unauthenticated frames to increment the brute-force lockout counter. Because the counter lacks session binding and persists across power cycles, it can be intentionally exhausted to trigger a permanent lockout. Once the threshold is reached, the motorcycle is immobilized and cannot be started without dealer-level diagnostic tools to reset the module.
