Charging station authentication identifiers are publicly accessible via web-based mapping platforms.
AnalysisAI
Authentication identifiers for electric vehicle charging stations are publicly exposed through web-based mapping platforms, allowing unauthenticated network-based access to sensitive authentication data. The vulnerability affects CTEK ChargePortal and enables attackers to obtain charging station credentials without requiring any privileges or user interaction. This information disclosure can lead to unauthorized access to charging infrastructure and potential manipulation of charging sessions.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from CWE-522 (Insufficiently Protected Credentials), where authentication identifiers that should remain confidential are inadvertently exposed through public-facing web-based mapping services. CTEK ChargePortal (cpe:2.3:a:ctek:chargeportal:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is the affected product, which serves as a management and monitoring system for EV charging stations. The root cause involves improper credential storage or transmission mechanisms that allow these identifiers to be scraped, indexed, or otherwise harvested from mapping platforms without encryption or access controls. The mapping integration likely exposes station metadata including authentication tokens or credentials that should be restricted to authorized personnel only.
RemediationAI
Immediately contact CTEK support (https://www.ctek.com/support) to obtain and deploy the latest patched version of ChargePortal that implements proper credential protection and removes authentication identifiers from public mapping platform integration. As an interim measure, restrict the visibility of charging station metadata in any public-facing mapping services by disabling automated indexing, implementing authentication requirements for map access, and auditing current exposure through search engine caches and mapping platform APIs. Implement network segmentation to limit direct access to ChargePortal administration interfaces, enforce API authentication with strong tokens that are regularly rotated, and enable encryption for all credential storage. Review and revoke any authentication identifiers that may have been exposed through mapping platforms, and monitor charging station access logs for unauthorized connection attempts.
