Session Hijacking Vulnerability in WebSocket Backend of Charging Stations

Publication date: 2026-02-27

Last updated on: 2026-03-05

Assigner: ICS-CERT

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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs because the WebSocket backend uses charging station identifiers to uniquely associate sessions but allows multiple endpoints to connect using the same session identifier.

As a result, session identifiers become predictable, enabling session hijacking or shadowing. In this scenario, the most recent connection can displace the legitimate charging station and receive backend commands intended for that station.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability may allow unauthorized users to authenticate as other users, potentially gaining access to their sessions.

Additionally, a malicious actor could cause a denial-of-service condition by overwhelming the backend with valid session requests.
