AI-suggested

The primary mitigation is to upgrade all affected EVerest everest-core installations to version 2025.10.0 or later, where the assert-based error handling has been replaced with robust mechanisms preventing manager shutdown on module failure. Organizations should implement rigorous input validation and error handling practices within their EV charging software stacks to avoid similar cascading failures. Network segmentation and access controls should be enforced to limit exposure of management interfaces to untrusted networks. Monitoring and alerting should be enhanced to detect module crashes promptly and enable rapid response before full service disruption occurs. Additionally, operators should conduct regular software audits and vulnerability assessments on EV infrastructure components. In environments where immediate patching is not feasible, temporary mitigations could include isolating vulnerable modules or deploying redundant management systems to maintain service continuity.

Description

CVE-2025-68134 is a high-severity vulnerability in the EVerest everest-core EV charging software stack prior to version 2025.10.0. It stems from improper input validation where the use of the assert function causes module crashes. When any module crashes, the manager process shuts down all other modules and exits, leading to a denial of service (DoS) that affects multiple EVSE units and users. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or integrity but severely impacts availability. Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction and can be performed remotely via network access. The issue is fixed in version 2025.10.0.
