Tesla Model 3's Phone Key authentication is vulnerable to Man-in-the-middle attacks in the BLE channel. It allows attackers to open a door and drive the car away by leveraging access to a legitimate Phone Key.
Certain Tesla vehicles through 2022-03-26 allow attackers to open the charging port via a 315 MHz RF signal containing a fixed sequence of approximately one hundred symbols. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is that the behavior is as intended
Tesla SolarCity Solar Monitoring Gateway through 5.46.43 has a "Use of Hard-coded Credentials" issue because Digi ConnectPort X2e uses a .pyc file to store the cleartext password for the python user account.
Tesla Model X vehicles before 2020-11-23 do not perform certificate validation during an attempt to pair a new key fob with the body control module (BCM). This allows an attacker (who is inside a vehicle, or is otherwise able to send data over the CAN bus) to start and drive the vehicle with a spoofed key fob.
Tesla Model X vehicles before 2020-11-23 have key fobs that rely on five VIN digits for the authentication needed for a body control module (BCM) to initiate a Bluetooth wake-up action. (The full VIN is visible from outside the vehicle.)
Tesla Model X vehicles before 2020-11-23 have key fobs that accept firmware updates without signature verification. This allows attackers to construct firmware that retrieves an unlock code from a secure enclave chip.
Tesla Model 3 vehicles allow attackers to open a door by leveraging access to a legitimate key card, and then using NFC Relay. NOTE: the vendor has developed Pin2Drive to mitigate this issue
The renderer process in the entertainment system on Tesla Model 3 vehicles mishandles JIT compilation, which allows attackers to trigger firmware code execution, and display a crafted message to vehicle occupants.
An issue was discovered in Tesla Motors Model S automobile, all firmware versions before version 7.1 (2.36.31) with web browser functionality enabled. The vehicle's Gateway ECU is susceptible to commands that may allow an attacker to install malicious software allowing the attacker to send messages to the vehicle's CAN bus, a Command Injection.
