CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2023-49955 — An issue was discovered in Dalmann OCPP.Core before 1.2.0 for OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) for electric vehicles
An issue was discovered in Dalmann OCPP.Core before 1.2.0 for OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) for electric vehicles. It does not validate the length of the chargePointVendor field in a BootNotification message, potentially leading to server instability and a denial of service when processing excessively large inputs. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is "OCPP.Core is intended for use in a protected environment/network."

Matched remediation archetype
Resource exhaustion and denial of service
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
- Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
- Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.
Remediate safely
- Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
- Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
- Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
