Tesla Fleet Telemetry allows spoofing telemetry for arbitrary vehicles via compromised vehicle credentials
Real-World Exposure
github.com/teslamotors/fleet-telemetryReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
A vulnerability in vehicle authentication allows threat actor with valid client credentials (i.e., a private key and certificate from a rooted infotainment system) to impersonate arbitrary VINs when authenticating to the telemetry server.
Impact
The attacker would be able to submit falsified telemetry records for arbitrary VINs.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/teslamotors/fleet-telemetry, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/teslamotors/fleet-telemetry to 0.9.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-prxj-3gcv-cqrh is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-prxj-3gcv-cqrh can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-prxj-3gcv-cqrh. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
