CVE-2026-25778 is a medium-severity Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613) vulnerability in Swtchenergy Swtchenergy.Com. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Browser Session Hijacking (T1185); ranked at the 24th 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-12 (Session Termination) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-25778 affects the WebSocket backend in charging station systems, where session association relies on charging station identifiers. The implementation permits multiple endpoints to connect using the same session identifier, resulting in predictable session IDs. This flaw enables session hijacking or shadowing, as the most recent connection displaces the legitimate charging station and intercepts backend commands intended for it.
The vulnerability is exploitable over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), requiring no privileges (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N), and unchanged scope (S:U), earning a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 with low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:I:A:L:L:L). Remote attackers can leverage predictable session IDs to hijack active sessions, impersonating legitimate charging stations to authenticate as other users and execute unauthorized commands. Alternatively, attackers can overwhelm the backend with valid session requests, displacing legitimate connections and causing a denial-of-service condition.
Mitigation details are outlined in advisories including CISA ICSA-26-057-06 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-057-06) and the associated CSAF document (https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-057-06.json). Security practitioners should consult these resources and the vendor contact at SWTCH Energy (https://swtchenergy.com/contact/) for patches and remediation guidance. The issue maps to CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration).

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

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.
Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.
Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.
Authentication mechanisms can incorporate session timeout checks but do not inherently address expiration policy.

Automatic termination of inactive sessions and limits on connection duration shrink the window during which a hijacked or unattended authenticated session can be exploited.
