A Malicious SIM Card Can Run Attacker Code Inside the Modems Behind Cellular IoT Devices
Researchers demonstrated that a malicious SIM card can execute arbitrary code on cellular modules embedded in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, potentially compromising electric vehicle chargers, industrial routers, and automotive telematics systems. A team from the University of Birmingham and Fuzzware tested 26 phones and cellular modules to identify this vulnerability.
Why it matters: Operators of critical IoT infrastructure, electric vehicle charging networks, and industrial facilities face risk from SIM-based attacks on embedded cellular modules; security practitioners should assess whether their connected devices use vulnerable cellular implementations.
