CVE-2020-29439
Tesla Model X vehicles before 2020-11-23 have key fobs that rely on five VIN digits for the authentication needed for a body control module (BCM) to initiate a Bluetooth wake-up action.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
