CVE-2025-5751

6.8 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to bypass authentication on WOLFBOX Level 2 EV Charger Management Cards using hard-coded credentials. Attackers can gain unauthorized access to charger management functions without authentication. Only installations using the affected WOLFBOX Level 2 EV Charger Management Cards are vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • WOLFBOX Level 2 EV Charger Management Card
Versions: All versions prior to patch
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Only affects installations using the specific management card hardware. Requires physical access to the card interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers could manipulate charging parameters, disable chargers, access user data, or potentially cause electrical safety hazards by overriding safety controls.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to charger management functions allowing manipulation of charging schedules, pricing, or disabling of charging stations.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited to physical access attempts only, with proper monitoring detecting unauthorized access attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Requires physical access to the management card interface.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Physical access to charging stations in parking facilities could be exploited by malicious insiders or visitors.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires physical access to the management card interface but no authentication or technical expertise beyond using default credentials.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-25-330/

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Contact WOLFBOX for firmware update
2. Apply firmware patch to management cards
3. Restart charging station
4. Verify new credentials are required for access

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Physical Access Control

all

Restrict physical access to EV charger management card interfaces

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate charger management network from other systems

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict physical security controls around charging stations
  • Monitor for unauthorized access attempts and implement alerting

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Attempt to access management interface using default/hard-coded credentials if known

Check Version:

Check firmware version through management interface

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify authentication is required and default credentials no longer work

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed authentication attempts
  • Successful authentication with default credentials
  • Unauthorized configuration changes

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected management interface access patterns
