The issue is related to an improper neutralization of special elements used in a command, also known as 'Command Injection', which allows OS Command Injection as root. This gives the attacker full control over the charging station, allowing them to add, modify, and delete files and services arbitrarily. The attack can be executed over any network connection serving the web interface and does not require user interaction. The likelihood of the attack is moderate, but the impact is critical, with potential safety implications due to the high power used by the EV charger.
