CVE-2023-28896 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2023-28896: Access to critical Unified Diagnostics Services (UDS) of the Modular Infotainment Platform 3 (MIB3) infotainment is transmitted via Controller Area Network (CAN) bus in a form that can be easily decoded by attackers with physical access to the vehicle. Vulnerability discovered on Škoda Superb III (3V3) - 2.0 TDI manufactured in 2022.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2023-28896

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2023-28896 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2023-28896

With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2023-28896 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2023-28896, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2023-28896, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: Low
    CVE-2023-28896 could lead to minor leaks of non-critical information without major privacy breaches.
  • Integrity: None
    CVE-2023-28896 poses no threat to data integrity.
  • Availability: None
    CVE-2023-28896 does not impact system availability.

Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS)

CWE Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-326

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Brute Force CAPEC-112 In this attack, some asset (information, functionality, identity, etc.) is protected by a finite secret value. The attacker attempts to gain access to this asset by using trial-and-error to exhaustively explore all the possible secret values in the hope of finding the secret (or a value that is functionally equivalent) that will unlock the asset.
  • Protocol Analysis CAPEC-192 An adversary engages in activities to decipher and/or decode protocol information for a network or application communication protocol used for transmitting information between interconnected nodes or systems on a packet-switched data network. While this type of analysis involves the analysis of a networking protocol inherently, it does not require the presence of an actual or physical network.
  • Encryption Brute Forcing CAPEC-20 An attacker, armed with the cipher text and the encryption algorithm used, performs an exhaustive (brute force) search on the key space to determine the key that decrypts the cipher text to obtain the plaintext.
