CVE-2026-67560: Bendix EC80 Brake ECU stack-based buffer overflow

CVE-2026-67560 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-08-28

Bendix EC80 Brake ECU is a brake control module used in heavy-duty commercial vehicles to manage anti-lock braking (ABS) and related safety functions. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the ECU or remotely execute code via CAN bus traffic, potentially disabling critical safety systems including ABS, steering assist, and speedometer—creating a severe risk to vehicle safety and occupant protection.

Technologies: Bendix EC80 Brake ECU. Vendors: Bendix.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the Bendix EC80 Brake ECU firmware. An attacker with adjacent network access (CAN bus proximity) can send a crafted payload to trigger the overflow, enabling arbitrary code execution or CAN bus traffic injection without authentication. The attack vector is adjacent network (CAN bus), and no special preconditions or user interaction is required. Successful exploitation results in loss of critical vehicle safety functions (ABS, steering assist, speedometer, shifting) and potential arbitrary ECU control. Patches are available: firmware version Z300822 for Z228999 variants, Z302578 for Z266494 variants, and Z302579 for Z286098 variants.
