CVE-2023-34402

Arbitrary file write via unchecked archive path

Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Mar 14, 2025

Arbitrary file write in Mercedes-Benz NTG6 allows physically proximate attackers to alter files through a crafted USB profile import. UserDataExchangeServiceClient::unpackVoiceTagArchiveOptimized trusts an embedded vt_ab.xml filename and writes attacker-controlled content to that path. Physical access to the exposed USB service and user interaction to import the profile are required; the resulting write runs with the speech service's filesystem rights.
