Summary
CVE-2026-27649 is a medium-severity Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613) vulnerability in Ctek Charge Portal. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Browser Session Hijacking (T1185); ranked at the 25th 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-2026-27649 is a vulnerability in the WebSocket backend of charging station management systems, where charging station identifiers are used to associate sessions but permit multiple endpoints to connect using the same session identifier. This design flaw produces predictable session identifiers, facilitating session hijacking or shadowing. In such scenarios, the most recent connection displaces the legitimate charging station, intercepting backend commands intended for it. The issue carries 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 is associated with CWE-613.
The vulnerability is exploitable over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity. An attacker can connect using a known or predictable session identifier to hijack an active session, enabling unauthorized authentication as other users or receipt of commands meant for legitimate stations. Alternatively, a malicious actor can overwhelm the backend with valid session requests, resulting in a denial-of-service condition that disrupts operations.
CISA's ICS Advisory ICSA-26-078-06, along with the corresponding CSAF file on GitHub and CTEK support resources, detail mitigations, patches, and remediation steps for affected systems.

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.
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.
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.
