Technical details

The Besen BS20 EV Charging Station's OTA Update Installation Handler fails to properly validate the authenticity and integrity of firmware updates. While some validation checks exist, they are insufficient to prevent an attacker from spoofing the update server and delivering malicious firmware. The attack is carried out remotely over the network but requires a high degree of complexity to successfully bypass existing safeguards. Successful exploitation allows for full device compromise and the ability to manipulate charging parameters. As of the disclosure, the vendor was reviewing the findings.
