Vulnerability Data

EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Versions prior to 2026.02.0 have a data race leading to use-after-free. This is triggered by EV plug-in/unplug and RFID/RemoteStart/OCPP authorization events (or delayed authorization response). Version 2026.2.0 contains a patch.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly implements memory protection safeguards that block use-after-free exploitation arising from the data race on EV plug/auth events.

prevent

Requires developer testing and evaluation (including concurrency and memory-safety test cases) that would have detected the data-race condition before release.

prevent

Enforces process isolation boundaries that limit the blast radius and exploitability of the use-after-free triggered by concurrent authorization and plug events.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly incorporate memory-safety tooling and reviews that prevent most use-after-free defects.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can discover use-after-free issues via scanning or analysis but do not prevent their introduction.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching removes known use-after-free instances after they have been introduced in released software.

detects

Security testing in development can detect use-after-free bugs before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates memory-safety practices that reduce use-after-free defects.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify memory-management rules that mitigate use-after-free.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include memory-safety design choices that limit use-after-free exposure.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly prescribe avoidance of use-after-free patterns.

prevents

Change-management processes help ensure memory-safety fixes are deployed consistently.
