Security researchers discovered and exploited a vulnerability in Subaru's Starlink connected car system. This flaw allowed unauthorized access to sensitive data, including vehicle location history, and control over features like door locks. The vulnerability stemmed from weaknesses in the Starlink admin panel, which was accessible using readily available information and easily bypassed security measures. Subaru patched the issue after being notified, but the incident highlights potential risks in connected car technology. The researchers responsibly disclosed the vulnerability before making it public.
