## What is CVE-2024-11666?

CVE-2024-11666 is a critical command injection vulnerability in hardy-barth cph2_echarge_firmware, published on 24 Nov 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Affected devices beacon to eCharge cloud infrastructure asking if there are any command they should run. This communication is established over an insecure channel since peer verification is disabled everywhere. Therefore, remote unauthenticated users  suitably positioned on the network between an EV charger controller and eCharge infrastructure can execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges on affected devices.

This issue affects cph2_echarge_firmware: through 2.0.4.

Weakness: CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity)

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-11666 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-11666 is a critical command injection vulnerability in hardy-barth cph2_echarge_firmware, published on 24 Nov 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-11666 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: hardy-barth cph2_echarge_firmware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
