Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber Wireless Control Module Anti-Theft Bypass Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the 2025 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber model allows physical attackers to bypass the anti-theft shutdown feature. This issue arises from improper handling of the shutdown control by the Wireless Control Module (WCM). The WCM communicates shutdown signals to a peer ECU through a dedicated wire pair. However, the receiving ECU fails to differentiate between an active shutdown pulse and a disconnected condition. As a result, interrupting the relevant wires keeps the motorcycle fully operable, even though the WCM has not verified the rider's PIN.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows unauthorized operation of the motorcycle by bypassing the anti-theft shutdown, even without PIN validation.
