Tesla Model S Iris Modem ql_atfwd Command Injection Code Execution Vulnerability.

Published Apr 30, 2025 · corrected/updated Apr 30, 2025 · Tesla Model S · evidence confidence high

Tesla Model S Iris Modem ql_atfwd Command Injection Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected Tesla Model S vehicles. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the ql_atfwd process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code on the target modem in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-2320

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2024-6032 is a high public vulnerability record for Tesla Model S. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether Tesla Model S is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: Tesla Model S 2023.44.29 with the AG525RGLAAR01A16M4G_OCPU_02.003.10.003 connectivity card (2023.44.29 with the AG525RGLAAR01A16M4G_OCPU_02.003.10.003 connectivity card). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 7.8 (technical impact); EPSS 53.0% (30-day exploitation probability). It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: euvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.

Exploitation and remediation

  • Exploitation evidence

    Not listed as known exploited in CISA KEV. Not in CISA KEV or VulnCheck KEV.

  • Patch and remediation

    A vendor or distribution source is linked. Check that advisory for patch availability; this catalog does not invent fix status.

  • Safe detection guidance

    Compare installed versions with the affected ranges below and verify the advisory from the original publisher. This site stores metadata and outbound links only; it does not ship exploit code or proof-of-concept payloads.
