CVE-2025-5740Network attack vector

Authenticated arbitrary file writes via path traversal

Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Oct 7, 2025

Path traversal in the Schneider Electric EVLink WallBox web server affects all versions and allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files. The web server accepts a manipulated file path without restricting the resolved destination, so a request can write outside the intended directory. The operation requires an authenticated web session with high privileges and can alter device files or interrupt charging-station operation.
