Technical details
The Hydro-Québec Le Circuit Electrique charging station backend fails to properly restrict concurrent sessions using the same charging station identifier. This vulnerability, classified as Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613), allows a remote attacker to deploy multiple instances of malicious Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) clients using a single ID. By flooding the backend with these duplicate connections, an attacker can exhaust system resources and cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is reachable over the network without authentication. Hydro-Québec has mitigated the risk by disabling OCPP on most stations and implementing new authentication systems for those still requiring it as of June 2026.
