- Researchers at PCA Cyber Security used 2.4 GHz signal jamming to trick drivers into opening the Bluetooth pairing menu, allowing hijacking of the infotainment system.
- Vulnerabilities span CVE-2025-32056 through CVE-2025-32063, covering an anti-theft bypass and multiple stack buffer overflows that enable remote code execution.
- Once exploited, attackers could manipulate steering, brakes, wipers and mirrors, record in-cabin audio and track the vehicle via GPS.
- PCA Cyber Security responsibly disclosed the flaw before presenting at Black Hat Asia, giving Nissan time to develop a firmware patch.
- Nissan has released the firmware update, urging all 2020 Leaf owners to install it immediately to mitigate potential hacking risks.
