Firewall bypass via missing xtables lock
Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Firewall bypass in the Iris modem of Tesla Model S 2023.44.29 allows remote attackers on an adjacent network to bypass firewall rules. The firewall service modifies rules without obtaining the xtables lock, creating a race that permits concurrent operations to evade enforcement. No authentication is required, but exploitation requires network-adjacent access and yields access across firewall rules rather than arbitrary code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
