OWASP Top 10:2025
A07:2025 - Authentication Failures
ASVS 5.0
V6 - Authentication Default credential prevention
|
| Exploitation Conditions | The management web interface must be network-reachable by the attacker and the factory-default administrator account must still be present/unchanged on the device (firmware prior to 7.1.2 or 8.0.1). Authentication occurs over cleartext HTTP, so no TLS or credential secrecy limits access. The primary limiting factor is operator hygiene: if the default credentials have been changed or the account disabled, or if the interface is not exposed to the attacker's network, exploitation fails. No user interaction, prior authentication, or non-default feature enablement is required - per PR:N the attacker is unauthenticated against a default-state device. |
| Impact | All available signals converge on genuine high priority. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact to the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), scoring 9.3. The vuln.today decision label is act_now, the issue was reported by VulnCheck (a credible research source), and a vendor patch exists - all consistent with treating this as urgent. The weakness is hard-coded default credentials (CWE-1392): exploitation is trivial once the interface is reachable and the factory account is unchanged. Note the gaps: no EPSS probability is provided, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no proof-of-concept or exploit code is indicated in the input, so there is no confirmation of active or widespread exploitation despite the high severity. Only a CVSS 4.0 vector is supplied (no 3.1 vector); the assessed 3.1 vector below is this analyst's own derivation. The act_now label combined with the simplicity of default-credential abuse justifies prioritized remediation even absent EPSS/KEV data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker locates an internet- or network-reachable Etrel INCH AC charging station management web interface and logs in over cleartext HTTP using the known factory-default administrator account, requiring no prior authentication. With full Administrator access they read the complete charger configuration and harvest the OCPP ChargePoint Identity and CSMS WebSocket connection details, gaining unauthorized administrative control of the charging station. No public exploit code is indicated in the input, but default-credential abuse requires no specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 03, 2026
Etrel INCH AC charging station management web interfaces running firmware prior to 7.1.2 or 8.0.1 expose a factory-default administrator account, a high-priority issue that lets remote attackers log in over cleartext HTTP and gain full administrative control. Successful access reveals charger configuration, OCPP ChargePoint Identity, and CSMS WebSocket connection details, with exploitation limited mainly by whether the default account remains unchanged and the interface is network-reachable. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to firmware 7.1.2 or later for the 7.x branch and 8.0.1 or later for the 8.x branch; the vendor firmware page is https://etrel.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EKC/pages/5064097853/Etrel+INCH+Firmware and the VulnCheck advisory is https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/etrel-inch-ac-charging-station-hard-coded-default-credentials. Until upgrade, change the factory-default administrator password and disable any unused default account, restrict management-web-interface reachability to trusted administrative networks, and stop exposing the interface over cleartext HTTP; these controls reduce exposure but do not replace the fixed firmware.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the Etrel INCH charging station management web interface, matched by CPE cpe:2.3:a:etrel_d.o.o.:etrel_inch:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and fixed in the 7.1.2 and 8.0.1 firmware branches. CWE-1392 describes the root cause as use of default credentials: the device ships with a factory-default administrator account that authenticates over cleartext HTTP, so anyone who can reach the interface and use that account obtains the charger configuration, OCPP ChargePoint Identity, and CSMS WebSocket connection details. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects network reachability, low attack complexity, no prior privileges or user interaction, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; the trigger described in the available sources is authentication with the unchanged factory-default account, and no other trigger condition is stated.

DescriptionCVE.org
Etrel INCH AC charging station management web interface prior to firmware versions 7.1.2 and 8.0.1 contains a hard-coded default credentials vulnerability that allows remote attackers to gain full Administrator access by authenticating with the factory-default account. Attackers can log in over cleartext HTTP to obtain complete charger configuration, OCPP ChargePoint Identity, and CSMS WebSocket connection details, enabling unauthorized administrative control of the charging station.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-112354 affects Etrel INCH AC charging stations with firmware prior to 7.1.2 or 8.0.1, exposing a factory-default administrator account that permits remote attackers to gain full administrative control over cleartext HTTP. This vulnerability directly impacts the operational integrity and security of EV charging infrastructure, potentially allowing unauthorized modifications to charger configurations and backend connections. Leadership should prioritize remediation because compromise could lead to service disruptions, data leakage, and compliance violations.
