CVE-2026-27027
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 · low confidenceAuthentication identifiers (such as API keys, certificates, or credentials) for electric vehicle charging stations are being inadvertently published on publicly accessible web-based mapping platforms. This exposure allows unauthorized parties to discover and potentially authenticate to these charging stations.

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.
-
Inventory your EV charging stationsCreate a complete list of all electric vehicle charging stations you operate, including their locations, identifiers, and associated authentication credentials (API keys, certificates, user credentials).Affected if You operate any EV charging stations and have not verified their credential exposure status.
-
Search public mapping platforms for your stationsSearch publicly accessible EV charging station mapping platforms (such as PlugShare, ChargeMap, Open Charge Map, or similar services) for each of your charging station locations. Review the publicly displayed information for each station listing.Affected if Your charging station locations appear on public mapping platforms with visible authentication identifiers, API keys, certificates, or credential data.
-
Check open charge point databasesQuery open charge point databases (such as Open Charge Map API) using your station identifiers to see what data is returned and whether any authentication credentials are included in the public response.Affected if Authentication identifiers are returned in public API responses or database dumps.
-
Search code repositories and data leaksSearch public code repositories (GitHub, GitLab) and data breach repositories for your organization's credentials, API keys, or certificates associated with EV charging infrastructure.Affected if Your authentication identifiers for EV charging stations are found in any public repository or leaked dataset.
-
Review third-party integrationsIdentify any third-party platforms or services you have shared charging station data with. Contact each to confirm they are not publicly exposing authentication credentials in their implementations.Affected if Third-party platforms you use are exposing your authentication identifiers publicly.
You are affected if any authentication identifiers (API keys, certificates, credentials) for your EV charging stations are visible on publicly accessible mapping platforms, in open databases, or in public repositories.

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 dataRemove all authentication identifiers from publicly accessible mapping platform data, rotate any exposed credentials, and implement access controls to prevent credential leakage to third-party platforms.
