Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Infotainment ECU manufactured by Bosch uses a RH850 module for CAN communication. RH850 is connected to infotainment over the INC interface through a custom protocol. There is a vulnerability during processing requests of this protocol on the V850 side which allows an attacker with code execution on the infotainment main SoC to perform code execution on the RH850 module and subsequently send arbitrary CAN messages over the connected CAN bus. First identified on Nissan Leaf ZE1 manufactured in 2020.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A vulnerability in the custom protocol processing on the V850 side of the INC interface between the infotainment main SoC and the RH850 CAN controller module allows an attacker with code execution on the infotainment ECU to achieve code execution on the RH850, enabling transmission of arbitrary CAN messages.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patches when available; until then, isolate the infotainment ECU from untrusted external inputs and monitor CAN bus traffic for anomalous messages that could indicate exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the infotainment ECU hardware architecture
    Examine the vehicle's infotainment system documentation or firmware to determine if it uses a V850 microcontroller in conjunction with an RH850 CAN controller module via an INC interface
    Affected if The system uses a V850-to-RH850 INC interface for CAN communication between the infotainment SoC and the CAN controller
  2. Determine if the infotainment ECU has code execution exposure
    Audit the infotainment ECU attack surface: review network-facing services, USB handling, Bluetooth stack, media parsing, and any third-party applications running on the infotainment system
    Affected if The infotainment ECU accepts untrusted external inputs (network, USB, Bluetooth, media files) that could provide an attacker with initial code execution capability
  3. Verify CAN bus message integrity monitoring
    Inspect CAN bus traffic logs or intrusion detection system alerts for any anomalous CAN messages, especially those originating from the infotainment ECU that are outside expected behavior patterns
    Affected if Arbitrary or unexpected CAN messages are being transmitted from the infotainment ECU that do not match known legitimate message sequences
  4. Check for firmware version information
    Locate firmware version strings or build metadata in the infotainment ECU firmware image, particularly for the V850 protocol handling components
    Affected if The installed V850 firmware version predates any vendor patch addressing this custom protocol vulnerability
  5. Assess network isolation of infotainment ECU
    Review network segmentation configuration to determine if the infotainment ECU is isolated from untrusted external networks or if it has direct IP connectivity
    Affected if The infotainment ECU is directly accessible from untrusted networks without isolation barriers

A system is affected if it utilizes a V850-based INC interface to communicate with an RH850 CAN controller and the infotainment ECU is vulnerable to code execution attacks, allowing an attacker to send arbitrary CAN messages.
