Common Methods and Vulnerabilities

Methods and vulnerabilities discovered by security researchers include:

Physical Access/Voltage Glitching: Researchers from the TU Berlin successfully "jailbroke" the Tesla Autopilot system (HW3) using voltage fault injection, which involved briefly shorting the power to a chip to bypass secure boot checks. This attack required physical access to the circuit board. A similar method was used on AMD-based MCUs to permanently enable paywalled features like the heated steering wheel.

Remote Exploits: In 2016, researchers from Tencent's Keen Security Lab demonstrated a complex chain of zero-click vulnerabilities that allowed them to remotely control non-safety critical functions like door locks and the trunk from 12 miles away. Tesla quickly patched this vulnerability with an over-the-air (OTA) software update.

Zero-Click TPMS Vulnerability: At Pwn2Own 2024, researchers found a vulnerability in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that allowed them to execute remote code on the vehicle's immobilizer system via a zero-click attack, potentially enabling car theft or unauthorized control.

Third-Party Software Flaws: A vulnerability was found in the third-party data-logging tool TeslaMate, where misconfigured user dashboards exposed API keys, essentially acting as "digital car keys". This allowed a 19-year-old researcher to access the location and controls of over 25 vehicles across 13 countries. Tesla revoked thousands of API keys in response.

Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Researchers have shown how a fake Tesla Wi-Fi network could be used to trick users into providing their login credentials, which could then be used to access the vehicle via the app.

Browser Vulnerabilities: In the past, flaws in the in-car web browser have been exploited to cause denial-of-service attacks that freeze the touchscreen.
