AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
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 and an attacker can hijack or shadow sessions. The most recent connection can displace the legitimate charging station and receive backend commands intended for that station.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability may allow unauthorized users to authenticate as other users, effectively impersonating legitimate charging stations.
Additionally, a malicious actor could cause a denial-of-service condition by overwhelming the backend with valid session requests.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
