How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability depends on how easily an attacker or misbehaving client can influence the inputs or states that trigger assertions. In deployments where external devices or network peers can send malformed or out-of-spec data, the risk of remote denial of service is higher.

What level of access is typically required to trigger the issue?

An attacker generally needs the ability to affect data processed by the vulnerable modules—such as sending protocol messages, modifying configuration, or interacting with connected devices. Physical or logical proximity to the charging network may be required, depending on how interfaces are exposed.

What is the safest general fix pattern for affected code?

The safest pattern is to remove reliance on `assert` for runtime error handling and instead implement explicit validation and structured error reporting. Modules should handle invalid inputs gracefully, and the manager should avoid shutting down the entire system when a single module fails.
