ICS Advisory Zero Motorcycles Firmware Release DateApril 21, 2026 Alert CodeICSA-26-111-06 Related topics: Industrial Control System Vulnerabilities, Industrial Control Systems View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to pair via Bluetooth with a motorcycle, gaining unauthorized access to all Bluetooth functions, including changing the firmware. The following versions of Zero Motorcycles Firmware are affected: Zero Motorcycles firmware <=44 (CVE-2026-1354) CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities v3 6.4 Zero Motorcycles Zero Motorcycles Firmware Key Exchange without Entity Authentication Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Transportation Systems Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: United States Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2026-1354 Zero Motorcycles firmware versions 44 and prior enable an attacker to forcibly pair a device with the motorcycle via Bluetooth. Once paired, an attacker can utilize over-the-air firmware updating functionality to potentially upload malicious firmware to the motorcycle. The motorcycle must first be in Bluetooth pairing mode, and the attacker must be in proximity of the vehicle and understand the full pairing process, to be able to pair their device with the vehicle. The attacker's device must remain paired with and in proximity of the motorcycle for the entire duration of the firmware update. View CVE Details Affected Products Zero Motorcycles Firmware Vendor:Zero Motorcycles Product Version:Zero Motorcycles Zero Motorcycles firmware: <=44 Product Status:known_affected Remediations MitigationZero Motorcycles has investigated this report and cautions users to pair their mobile device to their vehicle in a safe location where they can be sure no one else will try to pair at the same time. Once initiated, complete the full pairing process and confirm it is successful. Store physical keys in a secure location and do not leave the bike unattended with the key in the "ON" position. Zero Motorcycles plans to address this issue in a firmware update scheduled for release in May 2026. Update the firmware to the latest available version.
