Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists because the WebSocket Application Programming Interface does not limit the number of authentication requests that can be made.

Without such rate limiting, an attacker can exploit this by sending many authentication requests.

This can lead to denial-of-service attacks by suppressing or mis-routing legitimate charger telemetry data.

Additionally, the attacker may perform brute-force attacks to try to gain unauthorized access.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can impact you by enabling attackers to launch denial-of-service attacks that disrupt the normal operation of charging devices.

This disruption can suppress or mis-route legitimate telemetry data from chargers, potentially causing operational failures or loss of monitoring capability.

Furthermore, attackers may use brute-force methods to gain unauthorized access, which could lead to further security breaches.
