Threat & Defense Details
Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Locks the device (typically after inactivity) until re-authentication, addressing insufficient session expiration by preventing indefinite access.
Automatically terminating sessions after a defined period directly enforces session expiration, preventing indefinite session lifetimes that attackers can exploit.
Re-authentication after inactivity or time-based triggers prevents indefinite use of potentially hijacked or stale sessions.
Terminating sessions and network connections upon completion prevents insufficient session expiration.
Directly enforces termination of network sessions after inactivity or end-of-session, preventing indefinite session lifetime.
Consistent clocks across systems allow session expiration and timeout enforcement to function as intended in distributed environments.
When the non-persistent artifact is a session or connection, mandatory termination implements the missing expiration that CWE-613 describes.
Timed refresh of session-related information or on-demand generation plus deletion implements proper session expiration.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Vulnerability enables session hijacking via predictable/reusable identifiers (T1563 Remote Service Session Hijacking) and impersonation using valid session material (T1078 Valid Accounts).
NVD Description
The WebSocket backend uses charging station identifiers to uniquely associate sessions but allows multiple endpoints to connect using the same session identifier. This implementation results in predictable session identifiers and enables session hijacking or shadowing, where the most recent connection…

displaces the legitimate charging station and receives backend commands intended for that station. This vulnerability may allow unauthorized users to authenticate as other users or enable a malicious actor to cause a denial-of-service condition by overwhelming the backend with valid session requests.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-20895 affects the WebSocket backend in charging station management systems, where charging station identifiers are used to uniquely associate sessions. However, the implementation permits multiple endpoints to connect using the same session identifier, resulting in predictable session identifiers. This flaw enables session hijacking or shadowing, in which the most recent connection displaces the legitimate charging station and intercepts backend commands intended for it. The vulnerability is associated with EV2Go (ev2go.io) and documented in CISA ICS Advisory ICSA-26-057-04, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and mapped to CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration).
The vulnerability is exploitable over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity requirements. An attacker can predict session identifiers to connect as a legitimate charging station, enabling unauthorized authentication as other users or interception of commands. Alternatively, a malicious actor can overwhelm the backend with valid session requests, causing a denial-of-service condition by displacing legitimate sessions.
