CVE-2025-32063
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 · uneditedThere is a misconfiguration vulnerability inside the Infotainment ECU manufactured by BOSCH. The vulnerability happens during the startup phase of a specific systemd service, and as a result, the following developer features will be activated: the disabled firewall and the launched SSH server. 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 confidenceA systemd service in the Bosch infotainment ECU (Nissan Leaf ZE1, 2020 model) starts during boot with a misconfiguration that enables developer features. This results in the firewall being disabled and an SSH server being exposed on the system, creating significant attack surface for remote 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the infotainment systemCheck if the target system is a Bosch infotainment ECU in a Nissan Leaf ZE1 (2020 model). Look for system identifiers, ECU firmware version, or vehicle diagnostics information that confirms this specific hardware and model year.Affected if The system is confirmed to be a Bosch infotainment ECU in a Nissan Leaf ZE1 from 2020.
-
List active systemd servicesRun 'systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running' to enumerate all running systemd services. Identify any services related to developer features, diagnostics, or remote access.Affected if A service that enables developer features is found running on the infotainment system.
-
Verify firewall statusCheck the firewall configuration using 'iptables -L' or 'firewall-cmd --list-all' (depending on the system). Look for rules that should be present but are missing, indicating the firewall is disabled.Affected if The firewall has no active rules or is explicitly disabled, allowing unrestricted network access.
-
Check for exposed SSH serviceRun 'netstat -tulpn | grep :22' or 'ss -tulpn | grep :22' to check if port 22 (SSH) is listening. Also verify with 'systemctl status sshd' or similar SSH service name.Affected if SSH is listening on a network interface and the service is active.
-
Inspect service startup configurationExamine systemd service unit files in /etc/systemd/system/ or /lib/systemd/system/ for services that automatically start developer mode or disable security features at boot. Use 'systemctl list-unit-files' to find auto-enabled services.Affected if A service is configured to start at boot that enables developer features, disables the firewall, or starts an SSH server.
The environment is affected if it is a Bosch infotainment ECU in a Nissan Leaf ZE1 (2020) with a systemd service running that enables developer features, resulting in a disabled firewall and an exposed SSH server.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataDisable the vulnerable systemd service or reconfigure it to not activate developer features. Ensure the firewall is enabled and SSH server is disabled in production builds. Apply any vendor-provided firmware updates.
