| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 reflects high impact (C:H, I:H, A:H) but is moderated by attack complexity (AC:H) and the requirement for network adjacency (AV:A). The attack vector is adjacent network, meaning an attacker must be within Bluetooth range (typically 10-100 meters depending on Bluetooth version) and must already have obtained the ability to pair a device—this is a significant practical barrier. The high attack complexity further reduces real-world exploitation probability. While the impact is severe (full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise), the combination of AC:H and the prerequisite of prior device pairing establishes this as a moderate-to-high real-world priority rather than critical. Without EPSS probability data or KEV/active exploitation confirmation in the supplied intelligence, this appears to be a vulnerability with theoretical high impact but practical medium exploitation likelihood. Organizations managing Autel charging infrastructure should prioritize patching based on deployment exposure to untrusted Bluetooth environments and the sensitivity of charging management functions. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with physical proximity to a target Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial (within Bluetooth range, typically 10-50 meters) performs Bluetooth pairing with the device—potentially using social engineering or physical access to trigger pairing mode. Once paired, the attacker sends specially crafted commands that exploit the origin validation error, bypassing the authentication layer without providing valid credentials. With authentication bypassed, the attacker could potentially: disable charging restrictions, alter energy management settings, prevent legitimate charging operations, or extract configuration data. This scenario is feasible in multi-tenant parking facilities, fleet charging stations, or public charging infrastructure where an attacker can gain proximity and pairing capability. The requirement for prior device pairing (AC:H) means this is not a remote mass-exploitation vulnerability but rather a targeted attack against specific, accessible infrastructure. |

CVE-2025-5824 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial that allows network-adjacent attackers to bypass authentication through insufficient origin validation in Bluetooth pairing requests. The vulnerability (formerly ZDI-CAN-26353) has a CVSS score of 7.5 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; exploitation requires prior ability to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system. No KEV or active exploitation data was provided in the supplied intelligence, and patch availability status is not documented in the available information.
RemediationAI
Specific patch versions and availability dates were not provided in the supplied intelligence. Organizations should: (1) Contact Autel support directly to obtain patched firmware versions for MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial; (2) Review Autel's official security advisory (associated with ZDI-CAN-26353) for version-specific fixes; (3) If patches are not immediately available, implement compensating controls such as disabling Bluetooth pairing on wallboxes in untrusted environments, restricting physical proximity access, or isolating charging infrastructure on segmented networks; (4) Monitor the affected systems for unauthorized pairing attempts using any available logging/alerting mechanisms. Vendor advisories and patch availability should be obtained from Autel's official security channels or CISA's CVE tracking system.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in the Bluetooth pairing request handling mechanism of Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial. The root cause is classified under CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error), which encompasses insufficient verification that commands originate from legitimate sources before processing them. In the context of Bluetooth-enabled charging infrastructure, the wallbox fails to properly authenticate the origin of pairing requests, allowing an attacker who has already obtained proximity and pairing capability to send spoofed or maliciously crafted commands that bypass the device's authentication layer. This is particularly critical for charging infrastructure as it exposes vehicle charging control and potentially energy management systems to unauthorized manipulation. The attack surface is limited to devices that support Bluetooth connectivity and that have insufficient mutual authentication protocols during the pairing and command validation phases.

DescriptionCVE.org
Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial Origin Validation Error Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial. An attacker must first obtain the ability to pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of bluetooth pairing requests. The issue results from insufficient validation of the origin of commands. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-26353.
Executive ViewAI
Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox Commercial units are vulnerable to authentication bypass attacks through Bluetooth pairing exploitation, potentially allowing unauthorized access to charging infrastructure management and control systems. Organizations operating these commercial charging stations face operational disruption and potential safety risks if attackers gain administrative access.
Disable Bluetooth functionality if not operationally required; implement strict physical access controls to prevent unauthorized device pairing within Bluetooth range; segment charger management networks from general corporate infrastructure; require VPN or separate secure authentication for remote management access; monitor and log all pairing attempts; maintain updated inventory of authorized Bluetooth devices with regular audits.
