CVE-2021-22822
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (�Cross-site Scripting�) vulnerability exists that could allow an attacker to impersonate the user who manages the charging station or carry out actions on their behalf when crafted malicious parameters are submitted to the charging station web server. Affected Products: EVlink City EVC1S22P4 / EVC1S7P4 (All versions prior to R8 V3.4.0.2 ), EVlink Parking EVW2 / EVF2 / EVP2PE (All versions prior to R8 V3.4.0.2), and EVlink Smart Wallbox EVB1A (All versions prior to R8 V3.4.0.2)
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisUntrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.4.0.2
R8 V3.4.0.2 (or any later version)
- 1. Identify the exact model of the affected EVlink charging station (EVC1S22P4, EVC1S7P4, EVW2, EVF2, EVP2PE, or EVB1A)
- 2. Access the charging station's web management interface
- 3. Navigate to the firmware update or system settings section
- 4. Download the firmware version R8 V3.4.0.2 or later from the official Schneider Electric support portal: https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=SEVD-2021-348-02
- 5. Upload and apply the firmware update to the charging station
- 6. Verify the firmware version has been successfully updated to 3.4.0.2 or later
- 7. Test that the web interface functions normally after the update
