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 EV SoC update with powermeter periodic update and unplugging/SessionFinished status. Version 2026.02.0 patches the…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly addresses the CVE by requiring prompt application of the 2026.02.0 patch that eliminates the data-race condition.

prevent

Requires developer testing (including concurrency and thread-safety analysis) that would have detected the std::map concurrent-access flaw before release.

prevent

Mandates use of secure development processes and tools that enforce proper synchronization for shared data structures such as std::map.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

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

detects

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.

none

Change management reduces introduction of concurrency bugs during updates, yet does not address the weakness itself.
