CVE-2026-25113 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts (CWE-307) vulnerability in Swtchenergy Swtchenergy.Com. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 38th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-7 (Unsuccessful Logon Attempts) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-25113 is a vulnerability in the WebSocket Application Programming Interface that lacks restrictions on the number of authentication requests due to the absence of rate limiting. This issue affects components handling charger telemetry, as referenced in CISA ICS Advisory ICSA-26-057-06 and associated documentation from SWTCH Energy.
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote, unauthenticated attackers over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Attackers may conduct denial-of-service attacks by suppressing or mis-routing legitimate charger telemetry, or perform brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) reflects high availability impact, with CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts) as the underlying weakness.
Mitigation guidance is provided in CISA ICS Advisory ICSA-26-057-06 at https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-057-06 and the corresponding CSAF JSON file at https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-057-06.json.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-7 directly enforces limits on consecutive failed logons, structurally blocking brute-force exploitation of the weakness.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Authentication enforcement directly includes lockout, throttling, and MFA policies that prevent brute-force attempts.
Behavioral monitoring of authentication activity can detect excessive failed attempts after they occur.
Generating auth logs enables later detection or forensics but does not itself restrict attempts.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
CAPTCHA, account lock-out after repeated failures, and alerts on excessive attempts directly stop automated brute-force guessing of credentials.
