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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
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

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 25 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

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 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should prioritize the following actions: 1) Immediately isolate affected charging stations from external and untrusted networks to reduce exposure. 2) Implement network-level access controls such as firewalls and VPNs to restrict access to the Pile API endpoints only to trusted administrators and systems. 3) Monitor network traffic for unusual access patterns or unauthorized API calls targeting the charging stations. 4) Engage with Autel to obtain firmware updates or patches addressing the authentication flaw; if none are available, consider temporary compensating controls such as API gateways or reverse proxies enforcing authentication. 5) Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests on charging infrastructure to detect similar vulnerabilities. 6) Educate operational staff on the risks and signs of compromise related to EV charging infrastructure. 7) Segment the charging station network from critical corporate or utility networks to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on network segmentation, monitoring, and compensating controls in the absence of an official patch.

Description

Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial PIN Missing Authentication Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial charging stations. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Pile API. The issue results from the lack of authentication prior to allowing access to functionality. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-26352.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the security and privacy of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, which is increasingly critical as Europe pushes for widespread EV adoption. Disclosure of credentials could allow attackers to manipulate charging station operations, disrupt services, or gain unauthorized access to internal networks if the charging stations are connected to corporate or utility networks. This could lead to operational disruptions, loss of customer trust, and potential regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is exposed. Furthermore, compromised charging stations could be used as footholds for broader attacks on energy infrastructure or critical services, especially in sectors like transportation, logistics, and public utilities. The impact is particularly severe for organizations relying on Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial stations in commercial or public settings, where availability and security are paramount. Given the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, the primary concern is confidentiality breach, but the subsequent misuse of disclosed credentials could escalate the impact.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #21OWASP Top 10 A07:2025: Authentication Failures (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
Architecture and Design
Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Identify which of these areas require a proven user identity, and use a centralized authentication capability.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
Architecture and Design
Where possible, avoid implementing custom, "grow-your-own" authentication routines and consider using authentication capabilities as provided by the surrounding framework, operating system, or environment.
