CVE-2026-31926
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 confidenceThis vulnerability exposes EV charging station authentication identifiers (such as RFID tags, API keys, or authorization tokens) through public mapping platforms like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. Attackers can discover these credentials without authentication by simply viewing publicly accessible location metadata, potentially allowing unauthorized use of charging 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Search your charging stations on Google MapsOpen Google Maps and search for your EV charging station names or locations. Examine the business listing details, description fields, and any metadata associated with each location for exposed credentials.Affected if RFID tags, API keys, authorization tokens, or other authentication identifiers are visible in the public listing details or description fields.
-
Search your charging stations on OpenStreetMapOpen OpenStreetMap.org and search for your charging station locations. Review the POI (Point of Interest) details, description tags, and any custom fields that may contain metadata.Affected if Authentication credentials or sensitive identifiers are present in publicly accessible OSM tags or description fields.
-
Inspect location metadata and URLsCheck the direct URLs and metadata of your mapping entries. Some platforms embed information in URLs or hidden metadata fields that may be indexed by search engines.Affected if Credential strings such as API keys, token values, or authentication codes appear in indexed URLs or public metadata.
-
Verify search engine indexingPerform a Google search using your station names combined with terms like 'RFID', 'API key', 'token', or 'password' to see if sensitive data has been indexed.Affected if Search results return authentication identifiers or sensitive credentials associated with your charging station locations.
You are affected if any of your EV charging station locations on public mapping platforms contain exposed RFID tags, API keys, authorization tokens, or other authentication identifiers in publicly visible metadata.

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 and sensitive metadata from publicly accessible mapping platform entries. Rotate any exposed credentials and implement access controls to prevent sensitive data from being published in public-facing location descriptions.
