NMFTA’s research leads to CISA advisory and CVE to raise awareness in the industry of existing vulnerabilities and recommended mitigations.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. (NMFTA)™ has announced significant research findings that have led to the publication of a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisory ISCA-25-021-03, and the release of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE)-2024-12054.
Over the past 18 months, the NMFTA cybersecurity team worked closely with the manufacturer of the impacted trailer equipment to investigate and address the newly-identified vulnerability. This collaborative effort highlights the critical importance of cybersecurity measures across transportation and logistics.
The published advisory and CVE reveal a new class of wirelessly accessible vulnerability in trailer equipment, underscoring the urgent need for mitigations to be implemented industry wide. These vulnerabilities pose potential risks to operational security and emphasize the importance of proactive measures to protect equipment and infrastructure.
To assist the industry, NMFTA has published detailed mitigation strategies and recommendations. These resources, including the Blind Wireless Seed Key Unlock Whitepaper, are available to help stakeholders safeguard their operations.
