CVE-2025-68138 Details
Description
EVerest is an EV charging software stack, and EVerest libocpp is a C++ implementation of the Open Charge Point Protocol. In libocpp prior to version 0.30.1, pointers returned by the `strdup` calls are never freed. At each connection attempt, the newly allocated memory area will be leaked, potentially causing memory exhaustion and denial of service. Version 0.30.1 fixes the issue.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in EVerest libocpp, a C++ implementation of the Open Charge Point Protocol, prior to version 0.30.1. The issue arises because pointers returned by 'strdup' calls are not freed, leading to memory exhaustion. This memory leak can cause a denial-of-service condition, particularly during frequent reconnection attempts to the Central System Management Service (CSMS). The vulnerability was discovered during a security audit by Quarkslab.
Users can upgrade to libocpp version 0.30.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
