CVE-2026-8982: CWE-798 in Autel MaxiCharger Single
Autel MaxiCharger Single firmware through version 1.03.51 contains two undocumented privileged accounts. These accounts use vendor-specific password derivation based on device-specific values, enabling attackers who know the algorithm and inputs to gain administrative access to the web management interface. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to fully control the device.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-8982 identifies a critical vulnerability in Autel MaxiCharger Single firmware up to version 1.03.51, where two undocumented privileged accounts exist. These accounts authenticate using a vendor-defined password derivation mechanism relying on device-specific values. An attacker with knowledge of this algorithm and required inputs can authenticate remotely without prior privileges, gaining administrative access to the device's web management interface. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 10.0, reflecting the vulnerability's criticality and ease of exploitation without user interaction or privileges.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative privileges on the affected device. This can lead to full control over the device's management interface, potentially compromising device functionality, confidentiality, and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary mitigation has been documented at this time. Until a patch is available, restrict network access to the device's management interface to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.
