SinoTrack Snafu: GPS Devices Vulnerable to Remote Hijinks!
View CSAF: SinoTrack devices are having a GPS (Great Password Shortage). With a default password that everyone knows, your device is as secure as a screen door on a submarine! Attackers could track your car or cut the fuel pump. Time to change that password from “password123” to “notmypassword123”!
Hot Take:
When your car’s security is as strong as a soggy paper towel, you know there’s a problem. SinoTrack, the company that seems to have taken the “default” setting a bit too literally, is giving hackers the keys to the kingdom with their well-known default passwords and easily identifiable device IDs. It’s like a treasure hunt for hackers, and the prize is your car’s location and possibly its fuel supply. Time to change those passwords, folks, before your car takes a joyride without you!
Key Points:
– SinoTrack devices are vulnerable due to weak authentication and observable response discrepancy.
– Exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to vehicle profiles and remote control capabilities.
– The vulnerabilities are assigned CVE-2025-5484 and CVE-2025-5485 with high CVSS scores.
– SinoTrack hasn’t coordinated with CISA for mitigation, leaving users to fend for themselves.
– CISA recommends changing default passwords and concealing device identifiers.
