The /v1/Plan service relies entirely on a shared global API token for full administrative management, allowing arbitrary creation of zero-cost network access plans.

Leftover engineering diagnostics and factory-level diagnostic software remain exposed on retail builds, giving malicious apps write privileges to internal NVRAM registers.

The production build of the M3WebServer hard-codes its backend API keys, which can be easily intercepted through verbose error handling pages.

The ai_cmd utility executes with full root permissions. It pipes socket inputs directly to popen(), paving the way for unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary root commands.

The local MQTT broker does not enforce topic-level Access Control Lists (ACLs). This allows any client to subscribe using wildcard characters (# or +) to enumerate hidden network devices or publish rogue control commands.

The FieldX MDM adb messaging topic passes unverified payloads directly into Runtime.exec(), allowing command/instruction injection.

The upload.cgi binary, responsible for processing device backups, contains a hardcoded AES encryption key. This allows an attacker to decrypt, modify, and re-encrypt system backups, facilitating persistent backdoor injection.

The acer_cgi.log file in the device firmware is accessible without authentication via the web interface. This file contains cleartext login credentials (for web and Telnet), leading to unauthorized system access.

Crafted MQTT messages can trigger command injection, resulting in root-level code execution on the target device.

Web endpoints intended for the Acer Connect app improperly validate the HTTP Authorization header, failing to block requests when Base64 decoding fails.

Acer Altos W2000h-W570h F4 R01.03.0018 was discovered to contain a stack overflow in the RevserveMem component. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via injecting crafted shellcode into the NVRAM variable.

High-risk TrustAllCerts routines disable standard TLS certificate validation. Combined with hard-coded DES symmetric encryption keys, a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) actor could decrypt network traffic.

The registration path /v1/account/register provides no bot mitigation mechanisms, allowing malicious automated systems to flood the database.

The debugging routine SCREEN_CLICK(5053) enables a connection to skip the standard device login prompt entirely and directly enter an interactive shell interface.

The system fails to evaluate instructional permissions over multiple internal operation codes (opcodes), permitting unauthorized application installations or command executions.

Unauthenticated Debug Service. The /sbin/mtk_dut binary is exposed on TCP port 9000 without authentication, allowing any LAN-based attacker to execute arbitrary UCC commands.

Acer ControlCenter contains Remote Code Execution vulnerability. The program exposes a Windows Named Pipe that uses a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. However, this Named Pipe is misconfigured, allowing remote users with low privileges to interact with it and access…

Internal multimedia session archives are accessible without authentication, exacerbated by loose Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) rules that allow cross-site theft.

A Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability affects Acer NitroSense software versions prior to 3.01.3052. The vulnerability stems from the the PSAdminAgent service, which creates a Named Pipe with a weak Access Control List (ACL). This allows any authenticated local user to…

NitroSense 3.x before 3.01.3052 contains Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability.The program exposes a Windows Named Pipe that uses a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. However, this Named Pipe is misconfigured, allowing any authenticated local user to execute…
