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::map<std::queue>` corruption. The trigger is CSMS GetLog/UpdateFirmware request (network) with an EVSE fault event (physical). This results in TSAN reports concurrent access (data race) to `event_queue`. Version 2026.2.0 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 · high confidence

EVerest EV charging stack versions before 2026.02.0 have a data race vulnerability in the event_queue (std::map<std::queue>) where concurrent access from network-based CSMS requests (GetLog/UpdateFirmware) and physical EVSE fault events causes potential memory corruption, confirmed by Thread Sanitizer (TSAN) reports.

MitigationUpgrade to EVerest version 2026.2.0 or later which includes the patch for proper synchronization around event_queue access. The fix requires adding mutex/lock protection to all concurrent access paths to prevent the race condition.

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 installed EVerest version
    Check the installed EVerest version by querying the package manager, examining the binary with --version flag, or reading version files in /opt/everest or /usr/local/everest if those paths exist. Use command: dpkg -l | grep everest or rpm -qa | grep everest, or check the CMake configuration file.
    Affected if version is present and less than 2026.02.0 (e.g., 2025.x, 2024.x, or any version before 2026.02.0)
  2. Locate EVerest configuration files
    Find the EVerest configuration directory, typically in /etc/everest, /opt/everest/config, or within the deployment directory. Look for main.cpp in the EVerest source or the config/runtime.yaml configuration file that defines enabled modules.
    Affected if configuration files exist and show EVerest deployment (indicates the product is in use)
  3. Verify event_queue module is loaded
    Examine the EVerest configuration for the event_queue module entry. Search the configuration for 'event_queue' or check the module loading section. If source is available, examine the code for std::map<std::queue> usage in event_queue component.
    Affected if event_queue module appears in the loaded configuration or std::map<std::queue> is used in event_queue code
  4. Confirm CSMS network interface is enabled
    Check EVerest configuration for CSMS (Charging Station Management System) settings. Look for ocpp, websocket, or CSMS-related configuration sections. Verify that GetLog and UpdateFirmware operations are available through the OCPP/CSMS interface.
    Affected if CSMS/OCPP interface is enabled and GetLog/UpdateFirmware commands are accessible via network
  5. Check if EVSE fault handling is active
    Examine the hardware adapter or EVSE module configuration to confirm fault event handling is enabled. Look for fault_event, error_handling, or EVSE-related fault callback configurations in the EVerest setup.
    Affected if EVSE fault event handling is configured and active in the deployment
  6. Review for Thread Sanitizer evidence
    Search system logs, build logs, or testing reports for Thread Sanitizer (TSAN) output related to event_queue. If you have access to build environment, check if the binary was compiled with -fsanitize=thread and review any TSAN reports.
    Affected if TSAN reports show data races involving event_queue, std::map, or std::queue with concurrent CSMS and fault event access patterns

The environment is affected if EVerest version is below 2026.02.0 AND both the event_queue module AND CSMS network interface AND EVSE fault handling are simultaneously enabled, creating the concurrent access condition described in the CVE.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2026.02.0 or later
Fixed in 2026.02.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to EVerest version 2026.2.0 or later which includes the patch for proper synchronization around event_queue access. The fix requires adding mutex/lock protection to all concurrent access paths to prevent the race condition.

Recommended fix High confidence

2026.02.0

  1. 1. Identify the current EVerest installation version by checking the version identifier in your deployment
  2. 2. If running any version prior to 2026.02.0, plan for an upgrade to version 2026.02.0 or later
  3. 3. Backup any existing configuration and data before performing the upgrade
  4. 4. Obtain EVerest version 2026.02.0 from the official repository or release distribution channel
  5. 5. Follow the standard upgrade procedure for EVerest, ensuring services are properly stopped before the upgrade
  6. 6. After upgrade, restart the EVerest services and verify proper operation
  7. 7. Monitor the system to confirm the data race condition is resolved and no std::map corruption occurs
