CVE-2025-41682
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 · uneditedAn authenticated, low-privileged attacker can obtain credentials stored on the charge controller including the manufacturer password.
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 analysis · moderate confidenceAn authenticated, low-privileged attacker can exploit an insecure credential storage mechanism in the charge controller to retrieve stored credentials, including the manufacturer password. This allows privilege escalation and potential unauthorized access to the system or connected infrastructure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device typeConfirm that the system in question is a charge controller device (such as an EV charging station controller, solar charge controller, or industrial battery charging system). Check device documentation, model numbers, or administrative interfaces for product classification.Affected if The device is a charge controller product.
-
Verify low-privileged access existsCheck if user accounts with limited/standard privileges exist on the system. Review user role configurations, permission settings, or API access controls to confirm non-administrator accounts can authenticate.Affected if Low-privileged or standard user accounts are provisioned on the charge controller.
-
Inspect credential storage locationExamine configuration files, databases, or memory locations where credentials are stored on the device. Look for files related to user accounts, authentication, or password storage (e.g., config.xml, users.db, credential store files).Affected if Credential storage files or databases are present and accessible on the device.
-
Check credential storage securityOpen and inspect credential storage files to determine if passwords are stored in plaintext, reversible encoding, weak hashing, or unencrypted format. Compare the stored credential format against secure storage standards (e.g., salted hashes, proper encryption).Affected if Credentials (including manufacturer or admin passwords) are stored in plaintext, reversible encoding, or weak encryption rather than salted secure hashes.
-
Verify manufacturer password statusDetermine if the default manufacturer password remains unchanged. Check if the stored credential matches known vendor defaults or review authentication logs for manufacturer-level access attempts.Affected if The manufacturer or default admin password is still set to a vendor default value.
A user is affected if they operate a charge controller where low-privileged authenticated users can access insecurely stored credentials, including the manufacturer password.

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.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied firmware updates that address improper credential storage; immediately change default manufacturer passwords and rotate any exposed credentials.
