CVE-2025-28169Network attack vector

Traffic interception via unencrypted cloud broadcasts

Published Apr 23, 2025 · Updated Apr 24, 2025

Cleartext transmission in BYD QIN PLUS DM-i Dilink OS 3.0_13.1.7.2204050.1 through 3.0_13.1.7.2312290.1_0 allows attackers to intercept cloud traffic. The operating system sends broadcasts to the manufacturer's cloud server without encryption, exposing the data to interception and modification in transit. Exploitation requires a network position capable of observing and altering the vehicle's cloud traffic; no user interaction or authentication is required.
