DescriptionCVE.org

The charging station websocket endpoint accepts connections without proper authentication, which could lead to privilege escalation.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in the Hydro-Québec Le Circuit Électrique EV charging station backend lets remote unauthenticated attackers open connections directly to the charging-station WebSocket endpoint, which lacks proper access control (CWE-284), and leverage that access for privilege escalation. All backend versions prior to the June 2026 fix are affected, and the CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 (critical) reflects full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability over the network with no privileges or user interaction. …
