DescriptionCVE.org

The WebSocket Application Programming Interface lacks restrictions on the number of authentication requests. This absence of rate limiting may allow an attacker to conduct denial-of-service attacks by suppressing or mis-routing legitimate charger telemetry, or conduct brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.

AnalysisAI

Missing rate limiting in CTEK Chargeportal's WebSocket API enables remote attackers to launch denial-of-service attacks against electric vehicle charging infrastructure telemetry or conduct brute-force authentication attacks. All versions of Chargeportal are affected. …
