Unauthorized vehicle access via brute-forced rolling code
Published Feb 15, 2026 · Updated Feb 15, 2026
Insufficient entropy in Micca KE700 allows physically proximate attackers to unlock a vehicle by brute-forcing its rolling code. Its code combines a constant 9-bit key-fob ID with an incrementing 16-bit counter, leaving only a 16-bit random value to guess across 65,536 candidates. Exploitation requires sniffing one current RF transmission to predict the next counter; successful nearby transmission of a valid candidate unlocks the vehicle.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
