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 · unedited
EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Versions prior to 2026.02.0 have a data race leading to possible `std::queue`/`std::deque` corruption. The trigger is powermeter public key update and EV session/error events (while OCPP not started). This results in a TSAN data race report and an ASAN/UBSAN misaligned address runtime error being observed. Version 2026.02.0 contains a patch.

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 confidence

A data race vulnerability in EVerest EV charging software versions prior to 2026.02.0 allows concurrent access to std::queue/std::deque during powermeter public key updates and EV session/error events while OCPP is not started, leading to memory corruption detectable by TSAN, ASAN, and UBSAN.

MitigationUpgrade to EVerest version 2026.02.0 or later which contains the patch for proper synchronization between the affected code paths.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify EVerest installation version
    Run 'everest --version' or check the installed package version using the system package manager (e.g., dpkg, rpm, or pip list depending on installation method)
    Affected if The installed version is prior to 2026.02.0 or the version cannot be determined (indicating an older installation)
  2. Confirm powermeter module is in use
    Inspect the EVerest configuration file (typically config.yaml in the installation or deployment directory) for the powermeter module configuration
    Affected if The powermeter module is configured and enabled in the EVerest setup
  3. Verify OCPP status
    Check if the OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) service or module is not started or is disabled. This may be indicated by the OCPP-related logs or configuration state
    Affected if OCPP is not running or is disabled in the current deployment configuration
  4. Search for evidence of memory corruption
    Review system logs, ASAN/TSAN/UBSAN reports, or coredumps for memory corruption indicators related to std::queue or std::deque operations in powermeter or EV session handling code
    Affected if Memory corruption symptoms are present in logs or sanitizers reports mentioning the affected code paths

The environment is affected if EVerest version is below 2026.02.0, the powermeter module is in use, and OCPP is not started, exposing the race condition window.
