AI-suggested
To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations and Tesla Model 3 owners should: 1) Restrict physical access to the vehicle's CAN bus wiring by securing the vehicle in controlled environments such as locked garages or monitored parking areas. 2) Employ physical tamper-evident seals or enclosures around CAN bus access points to detect unauthorized access attempts. 3) Monitor vehicle behavior for unusual remote start activations or CAN bus anomalies using Tesla's onboard diagnostics or third-party vehicle monitoring tools. 5) For fleet operators, implement strict vehicle access policies and consider additional physical security measures such as immobilizers or GPS tracking to detect unauthorized use. 6) Educate drivers and personnel about the risks of physical tampering and encourage reporting of suspicious activity around vehicles. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on physical security controls and proactive monitoring tailored to the nature of the CAN bus injection threat.
Description
Securing externally available CAN wires can easily allow physical access to the CAN bus, allowing possible injection of specially formed CAN messages to control remote start functions of the vehicle. Testing completed on Tesla Model 3 vehicles with software version v11.1 (2023.20.9 ee6de92ddac5). This issue affects Model 3: With software versions from 2023.Xx before 2023.44.
