CERT-In Flags Security Flaws in Tata Motors Connected Car Apps

Why it matters

Connected vehicle apps sit between a driver's smartphone and the car. They commonly handle account access and vehicle-related features, so weaknesses in them can raise privacy and safety concerns. The warning adds to growing attention on cybersecurity risks in connected vehicles, a category that is expanding quickly as manufacturers add app-based services to ICE and electric models alike.

For owners, the practical step is to check which version of the app they are using and to install any update that Tata Motors releases. Users should also rely only on official app stores for downloads.

What comes next

The key open questions are whether Tata Motors will publish fixed versions and how it will communicate with affected customers. Details on the specific vulnerabilities and the affected version numbers are likely to matter most for owners deciding whether to update immediately.
