The WebSocket Application Programming Interface lacks restrictions on the number of authentication requests. This absence of rate limiting may allow an attacker to conduct denial-of-service attacks by suppressing or mis-routing legitimate charger telemetry, or conduct brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.

View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could enable attackers to gain unauthorized administrative control over vulnerable charging stations or disrupt charging services through denial-of-service attacks. The following versions of EV Energy ev.energy are affected: ev.energy vers:all/* (CVE-2026-27772, CVE-2026-24445, CVE-2026-26290, CVE-2026-25774) CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities v3 9.4 EV Energy EV Energy ev.energy Missing Authentication for Critical Function, Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts, Insufficient Session Expiration, Insufficiently Protected Credentials Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Energy, Transportation Systems Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: United Kingdom Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2026-27772 WebSocket endpoints lack proper authentication mechanisms, enabling attackers to perform unauthorized station impersonation and manipulate data sent to the backend. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the OCPP WebSocket endpoint using a known or discovered charging station identifier, then issue or receive OCPP commands as a legitimate charger. Given that no authentication is required, this can lead to privilege escalation, unauthorized control of charging infrastructure, and corruption of charging network data reported to the backend.
