|
| Exploitation Conditions | Remote unauthenticated attacker accessing ChargePoint Home Flex charging station with exposed genpw script containing hardcoded cryptographic seed. No authentication or user interaction required. Affects default installations where the script is accessible over the network. |
| Impact | High-severity unauthenticated information disclosure affecting ChargePoint Home Flex charging stations. Hardcoded cryptographic seed in genpw script enables remote attackers to extract stored credentials without authentication, creating cascading compromise risk. CVSS 7.5 reflects high confidentiality impact and network accessibility. Priority depends on deployment density and credential sensitivity in affected environments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Attacker retrieves hardcoded secret seed from publicly accessible genpw script over network (AV:N, AC:L, PR:N), derives stored credential decryption keys, and gains unauthorized access to charging infrastructure or associated accounts. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 11, 2026
Hardcoded cryptographic seed disclosure in ChargePoint Home Flex charging stations enables unauthenticated remote attackers to extract stored credentials via the genpw script. The vulnerability exposes a secret seed value embedded directly in source code, allowing attackers to decrypt or regenerate passwords for further system compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS 7.5 (High) reflects unauthenticated network access with high confidentiality impact.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Primary mitigation requires ChargePoint to release firmware update removing hardcoded seed and implementing secure random seed generation per cryptographic best practices. Interim workarounds: (1) isolate affected charging stations on dedicated network segment with strict firewall rules blocking unauthorized remote access; (2) monitor network traffic for abnormal credential access patterns; (3) implement network-level authentication (802.1X) if supported; (4) disable remote management features until patch deployment. Consult ZDI advisory for disclosure timeline and vendor coordination status: https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-195/. Organizations should contact ChargePoint support for patch availability and apply updates immediately upon release.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-540 violation: genpw script contains hardcoded cryptographic seed value used for credential generation/derivation. Deterministic seed enables attackers to reproduce cryptographic operations, effectively reversing password protection mechanisms. CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N indicates remotely accessible code with no complexity barriers.

DescriptionCVE.org
ChargePoint Home Flex Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Source Code Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of ChargePoint Home Flex charging stations. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the genpw script. The issue results from the inclusion of a secret cryptographic seed value within the script. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose stored credentials, leading to further compromise. Was ZDI-CAN-26340.
Executive ViewAI
ChargePoint Home Flex charging stations contain hardcoded cryptographic seeds that allow unauthenticated attackers to extract stored credentials remotely, potentially compromising facility access and payment systems. Organizations operating these devices face credential theft and lateral movement risks without authentication barriers. Immediate inventory and network isolation are required pending vendor remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to charging station management interfaces via firewall/VPN; (2) Implement network segmentation to isolate charging stations from critical infrastructure; (3) Disable remote management features if operationally feasible; (4) Monitor for suspicious authentication attempts on connected systems; (5) Rotate and strengthen passwords on any systems that depend on charging station credentials; (6) Enable logging and alerting on charging station API calls.
