Summary

CVE-2024-43648 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Divd (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 13.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-43648 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78, CWE-250) in the <redacted> parameter of a <redacted>.exe request, which leads to remote code execution as the root user. This issue affects Iocharger firmware for AC models prior to version 24120701.

Attackers with low-privilege authentication can exploit the vulnerability over any network connection where the charging station exposes its web interface, requiring no user interaction or additional preconditions. Successful exploitation provides full root-level control, enabling arbitrary addition, modification, or deletion of files and services, with critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H). The compromised device can serve as a pivot into otherwise isolated networks (SC:L/SI:L/SA:H) and poses potential safety risks (S:P) due to its role in handling significant power for electric vehicle charging. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting moderate likelihood due to the need for reverse-engineering the firmware or exhaustive testing of parameters.

Advisories from DIVD provide further details on the vulnerability, with mitigation centered on updating to Iocharger firmware version 24120701 or later. Relevant resources include https://csirt.divd.nl/CVE-2024-43648/, https://csirt.divd.nl/DIVD-2024-00035/, and https://iocharger.com.

Vulnerability details

Command injection in the <redacted> parameter of a <redacted>.exe request leads to remote code execution as the root user. This issue affects Iocharger firmware for AC models before version 24120701. Likelihood: Moderate – This action is not a common place…

more

for command injection vulnerabilities to occur. Thus, an attacker will likely only be able to find this vulnerability by reverse-engineering the firmware or trying it on all <redacted> fields. The attacker will also need a (low privilege) account to gain access to the <redacted> binary, or convince a user with such access to execute a payload. Impact: Critical – The attacker has full control over the charging station as the root user, and can arbitrarily add, modify and delete files and services. CVSS clarification. The attack can be executed over any network connection the station is listening to and serves the web interface (AV:N), and there are no additional security measure sin place that need to be circumvented (AC:L), the attack does not rely on preconditions (AT:N). The attack does require authentication, but the level of authentication is irrelevant (PR:L), it does not require user interaction (UI:N). If is a full system compromise, potentially fully compromising confidentiality, integrity and availability of the devicer (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H). A compromised charger can be used to "pivot" onto networks that should otherwise be closed, cause a low confidentiality and interity impact on subsequent systems. (SC:L/SI:L/SA:H). Because this device is an EV charger handing significant amounts of power, we suspect this vulnerability can have a safety impact (S:P). The attack can be automated (AU:Y).

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
Why these techniques?

Command injection in exposed web interface directly enables remote exploitation (T1190) and escalation from low-priv auth to root RCE (T1068).
