CVE-2026-27815 is a medium-severity Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) vulnerability in Linuxfoundation Everest. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 19th 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) — 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-2026-27815 is a high-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) in the EVerest EV charging software stack, affecting versions prior to 2026.02.0. The issue resides in the ISO15118_chargerImpl::handle_session_setup function, which copies a variable-length payment_options list into a fixed-size array of length 2 without performing bounds checking. Schema validation is disabled by default, enabling oversized MQTT command payloads to trigger the out-of-bounds write, which can corrupt adjacent EVSE state or crash the process. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H).
Remote attackers with network access can exploit this vulnerability without authentication, privileges, or user interaction due to its low attack complexity. By sending crafted oversized MQTT payloads to the affected component, attackers can achieve integrity and availability impacts, including corruption of nearby memory structures in the EVSE state or denial of service via process crashes. There is no confidentiality impact.
The GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-7wmg-crc8-6xxf) confirms that EVerest version 2026.02.0 addresses the issue with a patch. Security practitioners should upgrade to this version or later and consider enabling schema validation where feasible to mitigate exploitation risks.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and bounds checks) finds out-of-bounds write flaws before deployment.
Requiring documented secure-development standards and tools can mandate bounds-checked coding practices that avoid the weakness.
Input validation can structurally reject or sanitize data that would otherwise trigger an out-of-bounds write.
Memory-protection mechanisms limit the exploitability and blast radius of a successful out-of-bounds write.
