SteVe is an open-source EV charging station management system. In versions up to and including 3.11.0, when a charger sends a StopTransaction message, SteVe looks up the transaction solely by transactionId (a sequential integer starting from 1) without verifying that the requesting charger matches the charger that originally started the transaction. Any authenticated charger can terminate any other charger’s active session across the entire network. The root cause is in OcppServerRepositoryImpl.getTransaction() which queries only by transactionId with no chargeBoxId ownership check. The validator checks that the transaction exists and is not already stopped but never verifies identity. As an attacker controlling a single registered charger I could enumerate sequential transaction IDs and send StopTransaction messages targeting active sessions on every other charger on the network simultaneously. Combined with FINDING-014 (unauthenticated SOAP endpoints), no registered charger is even required — the attack is executable with a single curl command requiring only a known chargeBoxId. Commit 7f169c6c5b36a9c458ec41ce8af581972e5c724e contains a fix for the issue.

An issue in the web socket handshake process of SteVe v3.7.1 allows attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary coammands via supplying crafted OCPP requests.

SteVe is an open platform that implements different version of the OCPP protocol for Electric Vehicle charge points, acting as a central server for management of registered charge points. Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML and Javascript code via WebSockets leading to persistent Cross-Site Scripting in the SteVe management interface.

SteVe v3.6.0 was discovered to use predictable transaction ID's when receiving a StartTransaction request. This vulnerability can allow attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by using the predicted transaction ID's to terminate other transactions.

SteVe Community ocpp-jaxb before 0.0.8 generates invalid timestamps such as ones with month 00 in certain situations (such as when an application receives a StartTransaction Open Charge Point Protocol message with a timestamp parameter of 1000000). This may lead to a SQL exception in applications, and may undermine the integrity of transaction records.
