Tesla Retail Tool Vulnerability Led to Account Takeover
Designed with support for both employee and vendor logins, TRT stores various types of enterprise information, including financial information, details on Tesla locations, contact information, building plans, network circuit details, and details on local, ISP, and utility account logins. The application allows both internal and external account logins and uses for authentication a JSON Web Token (JWT) that specifies an email address cleared for manually defined user accounts, security researcher Evan Connelly explains. “At Tesla’s scale, it would be hard to manually update that list every time an employee leaves. And in theory, it should be okay if past employees have access defined within a web app, as their IDP account would be disabled or deleted and thus unable to login to the app through Tesla’s internal IDP,” Connelly notes.
