“The Subaru keyless entry system uses a key fob that contains a short-range radio transmitter and must be within (approx.) 50 ft. of a Subaru vehicle equipped with the system to operate.

A computer engineer found the Subaru key fob's rolling code – the internal system used to securely lock and unlock car doors – was "predictable".

A Dutch electronics designer has discovered how to easily hijack remote keys for Subaru cars, making it possible for anyone to steal vehicles and lock out their owners. Tom Wimmenhove published ...

The key fob sends out a code which the car interprets to unlock the doors. Typically these codes are randomized to prevent hackers from reusing a previous code, but Subaru's implementation is flawed.

Tom Wimmenhove, a Dutch electronics designer, has discovered a flaw in the key fob system used by several Subaru models, a vulnerability the vendor has not patched and could be abused to hijack cars.

October 18, 2017 [tomwimmenhove] has found a vulnerability in the cryptographic algorithm that is used by certain Subaru key fobs and he has open-sourced the software that drives this exploit.

I purchased a new Subaru Levorg (ex-service vehicle with only 900 km) in April this year and drove it home, a distance of less than six kilometres. I didn't drive it again until the following Tuesday ...
