CVE-2022-36945 — Mazda Mazda Firmware security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.4

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiving unit on certain Mazda vehicles through 2020 allows remote attackers to perform unlock operations and force a resynchronization after capturing three consecutive valid key-fob signals over the radio, aka a RollBack attack. The attacker retains the ability to unlock indefinitely.

Matched remediation archetype

Authentication bypass and missing authentication

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
  • Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
  • Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
  • Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
