  • Schneider Electric Schneider Charge all versions prior to 1.13.4
Summary
CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information vulnerability exists that exposes test credentials in the firmware binary.
Remediation
For already connected products, version 2.0.6.0.0 of EVlink Home Smart includes a fix for this vulnerability and has been deployed to automatically upgrade all charging stations connected to the Wiser application. Make sure the charging station is connected to the Wiser application to ensure the new version is downloaded and installed. For new installations, a fix for this vulnerability is enforced through eSetup commissioning application. The installed firmware version can be verified through Wiser application (refer to the settings page for the charging station).

What, why and how

CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information vulnerability exists that exposes test credentials in the firmware binary

What

CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information vulnerability exists that exposes test credentials in the firmware binary

Why

The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information → obtain information outside the intended access boundary
