Description
Two undocumented privileged accounts exist in Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through V1.03.51. The accounts use vendor-defined password derivation mechanisms based on device-specific values, allowing an attacker with knowledge of the algorithm and required inputs to authenticate to the web management interface with administrative privileges.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability consists of two undocumented privileged accounts embedded in the Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware up to version V1.03.51. These accounts are protected by a vendor‑defined password derivation algorithm that uses device‑specific data. An attacker who understands the algorithm and has the required inputs can compute a valid password and authenticate to the device’s web management interface with administrative privileges. This could allow the attacker to alter device configuration settings.

Affected Systems

Autel’s Maxi Charger Single vehicles deployed with firmware versions through V1.03.51 are impacted. The flaw exists solely in the firmware code that implements the web interface; the status of firmware releases beyond V1.03.51 is not stated in the CVE data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 10 indicates a severe impact due to administrative privilege escalation. The EPSS score of less than 1% shows that actual exploitation is expected to be rare, likely requiring reverse‑engineering of the password derivation algorithm and network access to the device’s web interface. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need network‑level access to the web interface and knowledge of the password derivation routine to exploit this flaw, which limits exploitation to environments where the device is exposed and the algorithm has been reverse‑engineered.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the firmware so hard‑coded accounts are removed, addressing the hard‑coded credential weakness (CWE‑798).
  • If an update is not yet available, disable the web management interface or block its port from external networks to limit the attack surface associated with the backdoor accounts.
  • Apply network segmentation or firewall rules to restrict external access to the web interface, ensuring only authorized internal devices can reach it.
