Wimmenhove said the vulnerability stemmed from a poor implementation of a code generation algorithm in the keys and Subaru cars, meaning the security token is predictable - not random - as it is ...

The key fob sends out a code which the car interprets to unlock the doors. Typically these codes are randomized to prevent hackers from reusing a previous code, but Subaru's implementation is flawed.

A computer engineer found the Subaru key fob's rolling code – the internal system used to securely lock and unlock car doors – was "predictable".

If you're looking to pick up a new key fob, or repair one, you might wonder how long programming it takes and whether or not you can do it yourself.

Tom Wimmenhove, a Dutch electronics designer, has discovered a flaw in the key fob system used by several Subaru models, a vulnerability the vendor has not patched and could be abused to hijack cars.
