tl;dr: A rogue device plugged into a "trusted" motherboard makes it untrusted.
As the saying goes, "It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway."

Re:Cisco Secure Email Gateway Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability

tl;dr: Send an email message with a carefully crafted file attachment. Triggers a parsing bug (presumably a buffer overflow). Attacker could cause several bad things, including adding a root user. Yikes.

AFAICS, it wasn't the journalist's fault. It was the Swiss PR spokesman. While the company concerned made a mild followup statement implying the journalist misunderstood because of a translation error, both parties spoke Swiss German as a native language.

Accelerating the switch to NACS on the car side won't work. The unspoken part of "automakers standardize on NACS" is the update to the Superchargers themselves. The signaling is basically CCS, not the legacy Tesla protocol.
