Official Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the charging controller’s signal-processing logic allows an attacker with physical access to the charging interface to supply message fields that exceed expected bounds. Because the input is not sufficiently validated, memory corruption may occur, which can lead to execution of unauthorized code with elevated privileges.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-9038 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
