Truck Brake Controller’s Safety Recall Doubled as Hidden Security Fix

A safety recall for the Bendix EC80 truck brake controller by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) addressed not only mechanical safety issues but also patched remote code execution and denial of service vulnerabilities in the device's software. The research reveals that the security flaws could enable attackers to compromise vehicle braking systems remotely.

Why it matters: OT and fleet operators managing commercial vehicles need to verify that Bendix EC80 brake controllers are updated, as unpatched units remain vulnerable to remote attacks affecting critical safety systems.
