CVE-2026-27770
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 confidenceAuthentication identifiers (such as API keys, tokens, or authentication credentials) used by electric vehicle charging stations are being inadvertently published through public web-based mapping platforms. This exposure allows unauthorized parties to discover and potentially misuse these credentials for authentication to charging station backend systems.

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 EV charging station deploymentInventory all electric vehicle charging station hardware and software systems in your environment, noting the operators and backend systems they connect toAffected if You operate electric vehicle charging stations that utilize authentication credentials to communicate with backend systems
-
Check for public mapping platform presenceSearch major public web-based mapping platforms (such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Apple Maps, and PlugShare) for your charging station locations using your known site addresses or network namesAffected if Your charging stations have entries on public mapping platforms that could contain or link to sensitive data
-
Inspect publicly shared station dataView the full details of your charging station entries on each mapping platform, examining all fields for exposed API keys, tokens, authentication URLs, or credential strings in attributes such as custom data fields, operator URLs, or metadataAffected if Any public entry contains authentication identifiers, URLs with embedded credentials, API keys, or token values in visible fields
-
Search for credential patterns in mapping dataUse the search function on mapping platforms to look for your organization name combined with common credential patterns (key=, token=, auth=, api=, password=, credentials=) or scan any raw data exports if the platform offers data downloadsAffected if Search results return any matches showing authentication credentials associated with your charging infrastructure
-
Verify backend system accessIf credentials were found publicly, attempt to confirm unauthorized access by reviewing backend authentication logs for unexpected API calls or access from unfamiliar IP addresses originating after the public exposureAffected if Authentication logs show access attempts using the publicly exposed credentials from unknown sources
You are affected if your electric vehicle charging station authentication identifiers are visible in any publicly accessible mapping platform data.

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 dataImmediately rotate all exposed authentication identifiers, remove sensitive data from publicly accessible mapping platforms, and implement data handling procedures to prevent sensitive credentials from being included in publicly available geographic information system data.
