Tesla Vulnerability: Unlock FSD and Rear Seat Heating After Cracking
News on August 4th, when the degree of electronics in the car is getting higher and higher, and it is more like a large digital product, we have to face the fact that there may be loopholes and be hacked.
According to media reports, a group of academic researchers recently claimed that Tesla’s in-vehicle entertainment system has an almost irreparable vulnerability that allows car owners to unlock a series of paid features for free !
The research, conducted by the Technical University of Berlin, claims that a known voltage fault injection attack can be used to bypass the AMD security processing of the MCU-Z simply by having physical access to the car’s entertainment and connectivity electronic control unit (ICE) board Server (ASP), not only can gain root access and run arbitrary software on the MCU-Z to unlock some paid features, but this access is almost impossible to revoke .
“While (voltage fault injection) is harder to perform than a pure software attack, the vulnerability cannot be fixed without upgrading the CPU.
The root privileges we obtained can make arbitrary modifications to Linux, and these modifications can be retained after restarting and updating the car”, researchers said.
After successfully obtaining access rights, you can unlock some Tesla functions that require payment, such as map navigation, rear seat heating and even FSD beta . Transfer to another vehicle.
They will present the research for the first time at next week’s Black Hat USA conference, entitled “Electric Car Jailbreak in 2023 or How to Turn on Tesla’s x86-based Heated Seats”, but since this is a hardware vulnerability, Tesla The owner of the car does not need to worry about the vehicle being hacked remotely.
