Vulnerability Data
EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Prior to version 2026.02.0, when WithdrawAuthorization is processed before the TransactionStarted event, AuthHandler determines `transaction_active=false` and only calls `withdraw_authorization_callback`. This path ultimately calls `Charger::deauthorize()`, but no actual stop (StopTransaction) occurs in the Charging…

state. As a result, authorization withdrawal can be defeated by timing, allowing charging to continue. Version 2026.02.0 contains a patch.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authorization decisions so that WithdrawAuthorization always results in Charger::deauthorize() stopping an active transaction regardless of event ordering.
Forces immediate session termination when authorization is withdrawn, closing the timing window that leaves a Charging state active after deauthorize().
Requires re-authentication or fresh authorization validation on state transitions, eliminating reliance on stale transaction_active flags.

Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.
Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.
By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
