Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 25 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should implement strict access controls and network segmentation to limit access to the Autel Technician API only to trusted and authenticated personnel. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced for all users accessing the charging station management interfaces to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Monitoring and logging of API access should be enhanced to detect anomalous or unauthorized attempts promptly. Regularly updating firmware and software when patches become available is critical. Additionally, conducting security assessments and penetration testing focused on EV charging infrastructure can help identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively. Vendors and integrators should be engaged to prioritize patch development and deployment. Finally, organizations should prepare incident response plans specific to EV infrastructure compromise scenarios.

Description

Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial Serial Number Exposed Dangerous Method Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial EV chargers. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the Autel Technician API. The issue results from an exposed dangerous method. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-26351.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability could be significant in sectors relying heavily on EV infrastructure, such as transportation hubs, commercial real estate, and municipal services. Disclosure of credentials could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the charging station management interfaces, potentially leading to unauthorized control or manipulation of charging operations, theft of service, or pivoting to other internal networks. While the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the compromise of credentials can facilitate lateral movement or further attacks against critical infrastructure. Given the increasing adoption of EVs and charging infrastructure across Europe, especially in countries with aggressive green energy policies, this vulnerability poses a risk to operational continuity and data confidentiality. Additionally, compromised chargers could be used as entry points for attacks on smart grid components or energy management systems, which are critical for national energy security and compliance with EU regulations on energy infrastructure protection.
