Kaspersky Uncovers Vulnerabilities in Barcode Scanners Threatening E-commerce Supply Chains Kaspersky has identified a critical vulnerability in widely used barcode scanners that could expose e-commerce supply chains to cyberattacks. The findings were presented at the Security Analyst Summit 2026 in Bali. The vulnerability allows attackers within Bluetooth range to inject keystrokes into connected devices, potentially leading to remote code execution without user interaction. This attack vector could compromise warehouse operational technology networks, impacting not only the warehouse industry but also retail and other sectors reliant on such devices. The lack of authentication between the scanners and base stations is a significant security flaw. Kaspersky's research indicates that this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to critical systems within the warehouse environment. The potential for exploitation raises concerns about the integrity and security of supply chains in the growing e-commerce landscape. 3 sources 52
