Service interruption via oversized OCPP field
Published Oct 20, 2025 · Updated Oct 20, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in ABB Terra AC wallbox firmware allows remote authenticated users to interrupt service through a crafted OCPP message. The firmware fails to limit the length of an OCPP field in a specific processing case, allowing the field to corrupt heap memory. Exploitation requires control of the CSMS or interception of unencrypted charger-to-CSMS traffic, and the resulting corruption affects charger integrity and availability.
