Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through V1.03.51 allows unauthenticated remote code execution via the service listening on TCP port 9002. (CVE-2026-8984)
Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware versions up to and including V1.03.51 contain a critical vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote code execution. The flaw exists in a service listening on TCP port 9002, where a crafted request to the /test endpoint can cause the device to download, extract, and execute attacker-controlled files with root privileges. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a critical severity level.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-8984 affects Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through version V1.03.51. An unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted request to the /test endpoint on the service listening on TCP port 9002. This triggers the device to download, extract, and execute files controlled by the attacker with root privileges, resulting in remote code execution. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code). No patch or remediation information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the affected device. This can lead to full compromise of the device, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to TCP port 9002 on affected devices to trusted sources only to reduce exposure.
