Availability: High

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 15 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should: 1) Monitor Bosch and vehicle manufacturers for firmware updates or patches addressing kernel module signature verification and apply them promptly. 2) Implement strict access controls and hardening measures to prevent attackers from obtaining root-level command execution, such as disabling unnecessary services, enforcing least privilege principles, and using secure boot mechanisms. 3) Employ runtime integrity monitoring tools that can detect unauthorized kernel module loading or unusual kernel activity. 4) Conduct thorough security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate other vulnerabilities that could lead to root access, thereby reducing the risk of exploitation chains. 5) Collaborate with automotive cybersecurity teams to ensure secure communication between infotainment ECUs and other vehicle systems, limiting the impact of a compromised ECU. 6) Consider network segmentation within vehicle architectures to isolate infotainment systems from critical control units. 7) Educate relevant personnel on the risks of privilege escalation and kernel-level exploits to improve incident response readiness.

Description

The system suffers from the absence of a kernel module signature verification. If an attacker can execute commands on behalf of root user (due to additional vulnerabilities), then he/she is also able to load custom kernel modules to the kernel space and execute code in the kernel context. Such a flaw can lead to taking control over the entire system. First identified on Nissan Leaf ZE1 manufactured in 2020.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential for complete system compromise of affected infotainment ECUs. An attacker who gains root access can load malicious kernel modules, enabling them to execute arbitrary code at the kernel level. This can lead to unauthorized data access, manipulation of vehicle functions, disruption of infotainment services, or persistent malware installation that survives reboots. For automotive systems, such control could extend to safety-critical components if the infotainment ECU interfaces with other vehicle networks or control units. This poses risks to driver safety, privacy, and vehicle reliability. The requirement for prior root access limits the immediate risk but also means that this vulnerability can be a powerful escalation vector when chained with other exploits. Organizations relying on Bosch infotainment systems, especially in electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf ZE1, face risks of targeted attacks aiming to compromise vehicle security and user data. The absence of known exploits suggests the vulnerability is not yet actively exploited, but the potential impact warrants proactive mitigation.
