Summary

CVE-2026-26070 is a medium-severity Race Condition (CWE-362) vulnerability in Linuxfoundation Everest. Its CVSS base score is 4.6 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 1th 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 SC-39 (Process Isolation) and SC-4 (Information in Shared System Resources) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Versions prior to 2026.02.0 have a data race leading to `std::map<std::optional>` concurrent access (container/optional corruption possible). The trigger is an EV SoC update with powermeter periodic update and unplugging/SessionFinished state. Version 2026.2.0 contains…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Maintaining separate execution domains for each process structurally eliminates unintended concurrent access to the same shared resources.

Preventing unintended information transfer through shared system resources directly addresses the improper concurrent modification that defines a race condition.

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper synchronization primitives and concurrency testing that prevent race conditions.

finds

Security testing can detect race conditions, but does not prevent them at design or coding time.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates concurrency controls and synchronization primitives that directly prevent race conditions.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify thread-safety and locking rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require proper synchronization and resource isolation, addressing the root cause of CWE-362.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe concurrent access patterns and mandate atomic operations or locks.
