Researcher Jacob Archuleta ‘Nullze’ discovered the DoS vulnerability after investigating the Tesla Model 3’s web interface. After testing a bug, he discovered that it was possible for an attacker to crash the Chromium-based interface after tricking the drivers into visiting a specially crafted web page. The problem is that the Model 3’s 17″ screen is a control centre… which, if not working, would not allow access to functions such as climate control, navigation, most audio system functions, vehicle speed monitoring… which could cause distractions for the person driving – with the consequent risk. The problem seems to have been solved in the latest update of this system, specifically in version 2020.4 10 and higher.
