Experts found multiple flaws in Mercedes-Benz infotainment system

Kaspersky disclosed multiple vulnerabilities in the first‑generation Mercedes‑Benz MBUX head unit (MBU X/Head Unit), enumerating several CVEs and demonstrating that attackers with physical access (via USB/IPC) — and in some scenarios remotely via Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, or the browser stack — can cause DoS, inject commands, escalate privileges, extract data, disable anti‑theft protections, and unlock paid services; the report builds on earlier KeenLab findings and promises advisory details on GitHub.
