CVE-2020-29439 describes a vulnerability in Tesla Model X vehicles manufactured before November 23, 2020, where key fobs use only five VIN digits for Bluetooth wake-up authentication by the Body Control Module. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 4.6) allows an attacker with physical proximity to the vehicle to potentially initiate a wake-up action, as the full VIN is externally visible, leading to high confidentiality impact. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion or media coverage regarding this flaw.
