Unauthenticated WebSocket Access Enables OCPP Station Impersonation

Publication date: 2026-02-27

Last updated on: 2026-03-05

Assigner: ICS-CERT

Description
WebSocket endpoints lack proper authentication mechanisms, enabling attackers to perform unauthorized station impersonation and manipulate data sent to the backend. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the OCPP WebSocket endpoint using a known or discovered charging station identifier, then issue or receive OCPP commands as a legitimate charger. Given that no authentication is required, this can lead to privilege escalation, unauthorized control of charging infrastructure, and corruption of charging network data reported to the backend.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves WebSocket endpoints that do not have proper authentication mechanisms. Because of this, attackers can impersonate charging stations without authorization by connecting to the OCPP WebSocket endpoint using a known or discovered charging station identifier.

Once connected, the attacker can issue or receive OCPP commands as if they were a legitimate charger, enabling unauthorized control and manipulation of data sent to the backend.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to several serious impacts including privilege escalation, unauthorized control of charging infrastructure, and corruption of charging network data reported to the backend.

An attacker exploiting this flaw can manipulate charging station operations and potentially disrupt services or cause incorrect data to be processed by backend systems.
