Description
The WebSocket backend uses charging station identifiers to uniquely
associate sessions but allows multiple endpoints to connect using the
same session identifier. This implementation results in predictable
session identifiers and enables session hijacking or shadowing, where
the most recent connection displaces the legitimate charging station and
receives backend commands intended for that station. This vulnerability
may allow unauthorized users to authenticate as other users or enable a
malicious actor to cause a denial-of-service condition by overwhelming
the backend with valid session requests.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WebSocket backend of EV Energy’s ev.energy platform uses charging station identifiers as session tokens, allowing multiple endpoints to connect using the same session ID. Because the identifiers are predictable, an attacker can hijack or shadow a legitimate charging station, receiving and potentially manipulating backend commands meant for that station. The flaw also permits flooding the backend with valid session requests, creating a denial‑of‑service condition.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all deployments of the ev.energy WebSocket backend; no specific version information is supplied, and the product is identified as EV Energy ev.energy.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.9, the flaw is considered medium severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the ability to establish a WebSocket connection to the backend, which is likely reachable remotely; thus the attack vector is inferred to be remote client access. An attacker who can authenticate as or masquerade the WebSocket client can hijack session states or overwhelm the service with session requests.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Contact EV Energy through their support portal to request a patch or detailed remediation guidance.
  • If a patch is unavailable, restrict access to the WebSocket endpoint by firewall rules, allowing only trusted charging station IP addresses or networks.
  • Configure monitoring of WebSocket connection logs to detect duplicate or suspicious session identifiers and temporarily disable affected stations until a fix is applied.
