Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware versions up to V1.03.51 contain a hard-coded authentication token that bypasses authorization checks on multiple management endpoints. This vulnerability allows an attacker to use the special token value to access privileged functions without valid authentication, posing a critical security risk.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through version V1.03.51 includes a hard-coded authentication token vulnerability (CWE-798) that enables bypassing authorization checks on several management endpoints. An attacker who knows or discovers this token can invoke privileged functionality without proper authentication, compromising device security. This vulnerability is classified as critical due to the potential for unauthorized access and control.
Potential Impact
An attacker can gain unauthorized privileged access to management endpoints of the affected device by supplying the hard-coded token, bypassing all authentication mechanisms. This can lead to unauthorized configuration changes, control over the device, and potential disruption or misuse of the charger’s functionality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict network access to the device management interfaces to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.
