CVE-2018-9313
The Head Unit HU_NBT (aka Infotainment) component on BMW i Series, BMW X Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, and BMW 7 Series vehicles produced in 2012 through 2018 allows a remote attack via Bluetooth when in pairing mode, leading to a Head Unit reboot.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
