CVE-2026-4157
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 · uneditedChargePoint Home Flex revssh Service Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of ChargePoint Home Flex devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of OCPP messages. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-26338.
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 confidenceThe ChargePoint Home Flex revssh service contains a command injection vulnerability in its OCPP message handling. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied strings before they are passed to system calls, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

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 the device modelAccess the device management interface or check the device label to confirm it is a ChargePoint Home Flex Cph50 modelAffected if The device is not a ChargePoint Home Flex Cph50 model - different models are not affected by this specific vulnerability
-
Check the installed firmware versionLog into the ChargePoint device management interface and navigate to Settings > About or use the ChargePoint app to view the firmware version informationAffected if The firmware version is lower than 5.5.4.22 (for example, 5.5.4.20 or earlier)
-
Verify if the revssh service is accessibleCheck network configuration or use a port scanner targeting port 22 (or the configured SSH port) on the device IP address to determine if the revssh service is exposedAffected if The revssh service is accessible from an untrusted network - the vulnerability can only be exploited if the service accepts connections
-
Confirm OCPP message handling is enabledCheck the device configuration for OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) settings - this is typically configured if the charger is connected to a charge point management system or network operatorAffected if OCPP message handling is enabled and the device communicates with external OCPP servers - the command injection occurs in OCPP message processing
The environment is affected if it is a ChargePoint Home Flex Cph50 device running firmware version 5.5.4.22 or lower, with the revssh service network-accessible and OCPP messaging enabled.

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.
dbcve · scoped5.5.4.22
Apply vendor-supplied firmware updates when available. As an interim measure, restrict network access to the device's management interface and segment it from untrusted networks.
Firmware 5.5.4.22 or later
- Identify the current firmware version of the ChargePoint Home Flex Cph50 device
- Download the latest firmware version 5.5.4.22 or later from the official ChargePoint support website
- Follow ChargePoint's official firmware update instructions to apply the update
- Verify the firmware has been successfully updated to version 5.5.4.22 or later
- Confirm the revssh service is running the updated version
