CVE-2026-8982
The accounts use vendor-defined password derivation mechanisms based on device-specific values, allowing an attacker with knowledge of the algorithm and required inputs to authenticate to the web management interface with administrative privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.38%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Two undocumented privileged accounts exist in Autel Maxi Charger Single firmware through V1.03.51. The accounts use vendor-defined password derivation mechanisms based on device-specific values, allowing an attacker with knowledge of the algorithm and required inputs to authenticate to the web management interface with administrative privileges.
