AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2026-25778, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Enforce unique session identifiers per connection and prevent multiple simultaneous connections using the same session ID to eliminate session shadowing. 2) Implement robust session expiration and invalidation mechanisms to ensure stale sessions cannot be reused or hijacked. 3) Introduce cryptographically secure, unpredictable session tokens instead of using predictable charging station identifiers. 4) Apply strict backend validation to verify the legitimacy of session requests and reject duplicates or suspicious connections. 5) Employ rate limiting and anomaly detection on the WebSocket backend to detect and block flooding attempts that could lead to denial-of-service. 6) Restrict backend access to trusted networks or use VPNs and strong authentication to reduce exposure. 7) Monitor logs for unusual session activity or repeated session displacement events. 8) Engage with SWITCH EV for official patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. 9) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on session management controls. 10) Educate operational teams about the risks of session hijacking and the importance of secure session handling in EV infrastructure.
Description
The WebSocket backend uses charging station identifiers to uniquely associate sessions but allows multiple endpoints to connect using the same session identifier. This implementation results in predictable session identifiers and enables session hijacking or shadowing, where the most recent connection displaces the legitimate charging station and receives backend commands intended for that station. This vulnerability may allow unauthorized users to authenticate as other users or enable a malicious actor to cause a denial-of-service condition by overwhelming the backend with valid session requests.
