|
| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication, privileges, or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N): the authentication identifiers are exposed through publicly accessible web-based mapping platforms, so any remote party able to reach those maps can retrieve them against Monta's deployed charging stations. The primary limiting factor is scope of impact rather than access difficulty - the identifiers are a disclosure (C:L) that enables follow-on misuse rather than granting direct station or account control; realistic harm depends on how Monta's backend trusts these identifiers, which is not fully specified in the advisory. No non-default configuration is stated as required; EUVD lists all versions of monta.app as affected. |
| Impact | This is a credential-exposure issue (CWE-522) rated CVSS 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N (network, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction), meaning the authentication identifiers are reachable by any remote, unauthenticated party simply by browsing the web-based mapping platforms described. The low technical barrier is the main driver of concern. However, the mitigating signals are significant: no EPSS score was provided in the input, the CVE is NOT on the CISA KEV list (no confirmed active exploitation), and no public exploit code is referenced - only the official CISA ICS advisory and its CSAF JSON. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are both scored LOW, consistent with disclosure of identifiers rather than full account takeover or station control, so this reads as a genuine-but-moderate exposure rather than a top-tier emergency. One point to verify with the vendor: the practical consequence of an exposed 'authentication identifier' is ambiguous - if those identifiers alone permit charging-session abuse or impersonation, real impact could exceed the LOW/LOW scoring; if they are merely enumerable references, impact is lower. EPSS is absent and should be pulled to refine exploitation likelihood. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker browses the publicly accessible web-based EV charging maps exposing Monta station authentication identifiers and harvests them at scale with simple scripted requests. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials, special access, or victim interaction are needed. No public proof-of-concept is referenced, but harvesting is trivial and the identifiers could then be abused for unauthorized charging-session actions or user enumeration depending on how the platform consumes them. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
Authentication identifiers for Monta-managed charging stations are published on publicly accessible web-based mapping platforms, so any remote, unauthenticated party can retrieve them simply by browsing those maps. The exposure is rated CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) and stems from insufficiently protected credentials (CWE-522); EUVD-2026-91820 lists all versions of monta.app as affected. Impact is bounded to a confidentiality disclosure that enables follow-on misuse rather than direct station or account takeover, since how far the leaked identifiers can be abused depends on how Monta's backend trusts them; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA ICSA-26-274-02 does not confirm active exploitation.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so remediation must center on containing the exposure and rotating the affected secrets rather than applying a fixed version - the CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-274-02 should be monitored for a vendor update that names a fixed release. The most direct action is to rotate or revoke every station authentication identifier that appears on a public mapping platform; the trade-off is operational interruption, since stations must be re-provisioned with new identifiers, so this should be staged to avoid taking fleets offline simultaneously. Second, remove authentication identifiers from any data feed published to mapping platforms and re-publish only non-sensitive station attributes (location, connector type, availability) - this closes the disclosure channel but degrades the richness of map listings and may require renegotiating data-sharing agreements with third-party aggregators. Third, treat the identifiers as compromised and review backend logs for anomalous station authentication, duplicate station identities, or sessions originating from unexpected source networks; if the backend grants station-level trust on the identifier alone, add a second factor such as a per-station secret or mutual TLS, accepting the added provisioning and firmware-compatibility burden. Where the trust model cannot be changed quickly, restrict backend access to the station management interface by source IP allowlist or VPN and rate-limit failed station authentication attempts as a detection and containment layer, noting that this adds maintenance overhead and can complicate legitimate roaming. Finally, contact Monta directly for an impacted-identifier list and coordinate disclosure with CISA per the ICS advisory before publishing any detail that would help an attacker retrieve the same identifiers from cached or archived map snapshots.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-522 (Insufficiently Protected Credentials). EV charging infrastructure relies on station identity and authentication identifiers exchanged between stations and the operator's backend management platform; when those identifiers are surfaced through a channel intended for public consumption - here, web-based charging-station mapping platforms that aggregate and display station data - the protection that credentials normally receive (access control, secrecy in transit and at rest) is effectively absent. The exact trust model is important: if the backend treats an identifier as sufficient proof of station identity, exposure enables station impersonation, spoofed session establishment, or unauthorized association with station records; if additional secrets are required, the exposed data is a reconnaissance aid. The CISA ICS advisory (ICSA-26-274-02) does not fully specify which of these applies, and no OCPP or backend protocol detail is given, so the realistic blast radius remains an open question. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:monta:monta.app:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the scope is the Monta application across versions rather than a single firmware build, and the ENISA EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-91820) likewise lists all versions of monta.app as affected. The vector's S:U (unchanged scope) and lack of A impact indicate the flaw does not by itself propagate into full loss of station availability or control.
