CVE-2026-27770

6.5 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability exposes charging station authentication identifiers through public web mapping platforms, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive authentication data. It affects charging station operators and manufacturers whose systems are integrated with these mapping services.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Charging stations integrated with web-based mapping platforms
Versions: All versions with vulnerable mapping integration
Operating Systems: Embedded systems in charging stations
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects charging stations that expose authentication data through mapping service integrations.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers could harvest authentication credentials to gain unauthorized control of charging stations, potentially disrupting operations, manipulating charging sessions, or accessing connected networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Credential harvesting leading to unauthorized access to charging station management interfaces, potentially enabling session hijacking or data theft.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited exposure with proper network segmentation and authentication controls preventing lateral movement even if credentials are compromised.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability specifically involves public web mapping platforms that are inherently internet-facing.
🏢 Internal Only: LOW - This is primarily an internet-facing exposure issue rather than an internal network vulnerability.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation involves accessing publicly available mapping data, requiring no authentication to the charging stations themselves.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified

Vendor Advisory: https://epower.ie/support/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Contact charging station vendor for specific guidance. 2. Review mapping platform integration configurations. 3. Remove or secure authentication data from public mapping services.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable public mapping integration

all

Remove charging stations from public web mapping platforms or ensure no authentication data is exposed through these services.

Network segmentation

all

Isolate charging station management interfaces from public networks and implement strict firewall rules.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network monitoring for unauthorized access attempts to charging station interfaces
  • Rotate all exposed authentication credentials immediately

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Search for your charging stations on public web mapping platforms and check if authentication identifiers are visible in the data.

Check Version:

Check charging station firmware version through management interface or vendor documentation.

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm that authentication data is no longer exposed on public mapping platforms and test that legitimate access still functions.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual authentication attempts from unexpected locations
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful access

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected connections to charging station management ports
  • Traffic patterns suggesting credential harvesting

SIEM Query:

source_ip NOT IN (allowed_networks) AND destination_port IN (charging_station_ports)
