8.8 highCVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2018-11478
An issue was discovered on Vgate iCar 2 Wi-Fi OBD2 Dongle devices. The OBD port is used to receive measurement data and debug information from the car. This on-board diagnostics feature can also be used to send commands to the car (different for every vendor / car product line / car). No authentication is needed, which allows attacks from the local Wi-Fi network.
