Unauthenticated code execution via TPMS certificate response overflow
Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Integer overflow in Tesla Model 3 firmware 2024.8 allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code through the TPMS interface. The VCSEC module accepts a manipulated TPMS certificate response, overflows an integer before a memory write, and corrupts memory. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation runs code in VCSEC and permits arbitrary messages on the vehicle CAN bus.

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.
