CVE-2026-8983

A hard‑coded authentication token in the Autel Maxi Charger firmware allows an attacker to bypass all security checks and use privileged functions without logging in. The flaw exists in firmware versions up to V1.03.51. Because the token is built into the code, normal authentication mechanisms are ineffective.
