UC San Diego researchers discovered a severe Bluetooth vulnerability in the KARR aftermarket car alarm—installed by dealers in an estimated >2 million vehicles—that allows nearby attackers to send radio commands to unlock vehicles, disable ignition, honk horns, flash lights, and track vehicles. The vendor (Acrisure Protection Group) released a firmware update; owners should check for a KARR or SWDS sticker or a small blinking dash button and update via the KARR Security app to mitigate the risk.
