CVE-2026-20895
Published: 27 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-20895 is a medium-severity Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613) vulnerability in Ev2Go Ev2Go.Io. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Remote Service Session Hijacking (T1563); ranked at the 16.6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-10 (Concurrent Session Control) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity).
Deeper analysis
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.

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.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly prevents multiple endpoints from simultaneously using the same charging-station session identifier, blocking hijacking and shadowing.
Enforces session authenticity so that a connection using a predicted or duplicated identifier cannot be accepted as valid.
Requires timely session termination/expiration, reducing the window in which a predictable identifier can be reused for hijacking or DoS.
