CVE-2026-27828: EVerest: ISO15118 session_setup use-after-free can crash EVSE process

Published Mar 26, 2026
·
Updated

EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Prior to version 2026.02.0, ISO15118chargerImpl::handlesessionsetup uses v2gctx after it has been freed when ISO15118 initialization fails (e.g., no IPv6 link-local address). The EVSE process can be crashed remotely by an attacker with MQTT access who issues a sessionsetup command while v2gctx has been released. Version 2026.02.0 contains a patch.
