CVE-2026-29796: WebSocket endpoints lack proper authentication mechanisms, enabling attackers to perform unauthorized station
CVE-2026-29796 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.4) affecting eparking.fi. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
WebSocket endpoints lack proper authentication mechanisms, enabling attackers to perform unauthorized station impersonation and manipulate data sent to the backend. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the OCPP WebSocket endpoint using a known or discovered charging station identifier, then issue or receive OCPP commands as a legitimate charger. Given that no authentication is required, this can lead to privilege escalation, unauthorized co
