CVE-2026-44622
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 confidenceElectric vehicle charging station authentication credentials (identifiers, keys, tokens) are inadvertently published on publicly accessible web-based mapping platforms (e.g., Google Maps, OpenStreetMap). This exposure allows unauthorized parties to discover and potentially use these credentials to access or manipulate 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.
-
Search for your charging stations on public mapping platformsSearch Google Maps and OpenStreetMap using your charging station names, addresses, or identifiers. Look for any listings associated with your organization or station network.Affected if Your charging stations appear on public mapping platforms with any associated metadata or configuration data visible.
-
Inspect publicly visible station detailsOpen each listed charging station result and examine all available fields, including description, photos, metadata, and any embedded URLs or links.Affected if Any authentication identifiers, API keys, tokens, or login credentials are visible in the publicly accessible station details.
-
Check station metadata for exposed configurationReview the raw data or source of station listings for any embedded credentials, network configuration, or authentication parameters.Affected if Credentials, keys, or authentication tokens are included in the station's public metadata or configuration data.
-
Search multiple mapping servicesExtend the search to other EV charging mapping platforms such as PlugShare, ChargePoint, or any network-specific apps that may aggregate station data.Affected if Your station credentials appear on any third-party platform that aggregates EV charging station information.
-
Verify credential exposure scopeDocument all instances where authentication credentials are publicly visible. Determine if the exposed credentials are active or currently in use.Affected if Active or recently used authentication identifiers, keys, or tokens for your charging infrastructure are publicly accessible.
You are affected if your EV charging station credentials are visible on any public mapping platform or third-party service that aggregates charging station 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 and implement proper credential management to prevent future exposure. Review and restrict access to sensitive charging station configuration data on mapping platforms.
