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
Charging 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 confidence

EV charging station authentication identifiers (credentials, tokens, or keys) are being exposed publicly through web-based mapping platforms (likely embedded in location data or business listings), allowing unauthorized parties to discover and potentially use these credentials to access charging station systems.

MitigationRemove all authentication identifiers from publicly accessible mapping platform data, rotate any exposed credentials immediately, and implement proper data sanitization controls to prevent sensitive information from being published to third-party mapping services.

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. Search mapping platforms for your station locations
    Search Google Maps, Apple Maps, and OpenStreetMap for your EV charging station business listings. Review the business name, description, and any embedded data fields for authentication identifiers, tokens, or API keys.
    Affected if Your station listing or location data contains visible credentials, tokens, or keys in public fields.
  2. Inspect station metadata and custom data fields
    Check if your charging station entries on mapping platforms include custom fields, check-in notes, or embedded URLs that may contain authentication parameters or credentials.
    Affected if Metadata fields contain authentication identifiers or credential data accessible to the public.
  3. Search public data repositories for your station identifiers
    Search public data dumps, breach databases, and OSINT resources for your charging station identifiers, business names, or known station IDs to see if credentials have been leaked.
    Affected if Your authentication tokens, keys, or credentials appear in any public data repositories or breach databases.
  4. Review third-party integrations with mapping services
    Identify any third-party services or apps that integrate your station data with mapping platforms. Audit what data these integrations transmit, including any authentication credentials that may be inadvertently included.
    Affected if Third-party integrations or data feeds are exposing authentication identifiers to mapping platforms.

You are affected if authentication identifiers for your EV charging stations are discoverable in any public mapping platform data, business listings, or third-party data feeds integrated with mapping services.

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.
