Chinese security researchers have discovered more than a dozen vulnerabilities in the onboard compute units of BMW cars. Some of the flaws can be exploited remotely to compromise a vehicle. The vulnerabilities were discovered during a year-long security audit conducted by researchers from Keen Security Lab, a cybersecurity research unit of Chinese firm Tencent, between January 2017 and February 2018. BMW has already started rolling out over-the-air updates to fix some bugs in the TCU, but other flaws will need patches through the dealers. The researchers have scheduled their full technical report to March 2019.
