EVoke Systems EVoke CSMS Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts

Published Jun 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The WebSocket Application Programming Interface lacks restrictions on the number of authentication requests. This absence of rate limiting may allow an attacker to conduct denial-of-service attacks or brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

EVoke states that as a hardware-agnostic platform supporting multiple charger Original Equipment Manufacturers OEMs, EVoke must interoperate with EVSE devices that support different OCPP security profiles depending on the firmware capabilities of the charger. EVoke CSMS currently supports all OCPP security profiles (0–3). However, the effective security configuration for a charger connection is determined by the security profile implemented in the EVSE firmware. Some legacy chargers deployed in the network support only Security Profile 0 or 1. These chargers were installed prior to the broader industry adoption of stronger authentication mechanisms defined in OCPP Security Profiles 2 and 3. EVoke is actively working with charger OEM partners to migrate supported devices to Security Profile 2 (TLS encryption with basic authentication) or Security Profile 3 (Mutual TLS authentication using client certificates). For OEMs that continue to support firmware updates, EVoke will prioritize upgrades to enable Security Profiles 2 or 3.


Vendor Workaround

EVoke states that to reduce the risk of duplicate sessions, only a single active connection per charger ID will be permitted. If a second connection using the same charger ID is detected, the new connection will be rejected or the previous session will be terminated. This prevents unauthorized actors from establishing parallel sessions using spoofed charger identifiers.
