Hackers Jailbreak Tesla Model 3, Unlock Free Heated Rear Seats via InsideEVs
2022 Tesla Model 3 RHDWerling said they used a technique called"voltage glitching" to jailbreak the Tesla. He explained that they"fiddled around" with the supply voltage of the"If we do it at the right moment, we can trick the CPU into doing something else. It has a hiccup, skips an instruction, and accepts our manipulated code. That's basically what we do in a nutshell," he noted.
Using the same technique, the researchers claimed they were able to extract the encryption key used to authenticate the car to Tesla's network. While this could potentially open the door to a series of other attacks, they said they still have to explore the possibilities in this scenario. Still, extracting the encryption key allowed them to pull critical personal information from the car including contacts, call logs, recent calendar appointments, locations the car visited, Wi-Fi passwords, and session tokens from email accounts, among other things. This type of data could be attractive to people who don't own a particular Tesla Model 3 vehicle, but still have physical access to it, the researchers said.
