CVE-2026-20791
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 · uneditedCharging station authentication identifiers are publicly accessible via web-based mapping platforms.
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 confidenceElectric vehicle charging station authentication identifiers (such as API keys, tokens, or credentials) are being inadvertently exposed through publicly accessible web-based mapping platforms. This allows unauthorized actors to potentially access and manipulate charging station systems by obtaining the leaked authentication credentials from map data, tiles, or associated APIs.

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 Chargemap integrationReview your systems for any integration with Chargemap.com, including API connections, station management tools, or data feeds submitted to the platformAffected if You have an active Chargemap account or submit charging station data to Chargemap.com
-
Audit published station dataLog into Chargemap.com and review all your published charging station entries for any embedded credentials, API keys, tokens, or authentication strings in public fieldsAffected if Any station data contains authentication identifiers visible to the public
-
Inspect data export filesCheck any CSV, JSON, or data export files you have submitted to Chargemap for hardcoded credentials, API keys, or tokens that may have been publishedAffected if Exported data files contain authentication credentials
-
Review API integration logsExamine logs from your Chargemap API integrations for any exposed or leaked authentication tokens that may have been included in public map tiles or dataAffected if API responses or integration data contains exposed authentication identifiers
-
Search public map tilesManually view your charging station locations on Chargemap.com and inspect all visible metadata, popup information, and associated URLs for credential exposureAffected if Public station information reveals API keys, tokens, or authentication data
You are affected if you have submitted charging station data to Chargemap.com that contains exposed authentication identifiers visible in public map data, tiles, or station metadata.

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 dataAudit and remove all exposed authentication identifiers from mapping platform data, rotate compromised credentials, and implement data sanitization processes to prevent sensitive information from being published to public mapping platforms.
