CVE-2026-26073 | EVerest: OCPP 1.6 heap corruption caused by lock-free insertion in event_queue

EVerest is an EV charging software stack. Versions prior to 2026.02.0 have a data race leading to possible `std::queue`/`std::deque` corruption. The trigger is powermeter public key update and EV session/error events (while OCPP not started). This results in a TSAN data race report and an ASAN/UBSAN misaligned address runtime error being observed. Version 2026.02.0 contains a patch.

5.9 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
