Summary

CVE-2026-33014 is a medium-severity Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Linuxfoundation Everest. Its CVSS base score is 5.2 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 11th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-12 (Session Termination) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Prior to version 2026.02.0, during RemoteStop processing, a delayed authorization response restores `authorized` back to true, defeating the `stop_transaction()` call condition on PowerOff events. As a result, the transaction can remain open even…

after a remote stop. Version 2026.02.0 contains a patch.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces correct authorization decisions so that a RemoteStop reliably triggers stop_transaction() and PowerOff instead of allowing a delayed response to restore the authorized state.

prevent

Forces session termination on remote stop commands, closing the transaction regardless of transient authorization-state changes.

prevent

Ensures access-control decisions for transaction stop operations are made consistently by the authoritative component rather than being overridden by delayed authorization responses.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

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

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

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.

prevents

Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.

prevents

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.
