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.

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.

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…

Crucial management API endpoints for cellular eSIM allocation do not validate caller authorization, allowing remote profiles to be rewritten or deleted.

System log files output unencrypted SMTP server authentication passwords alongside sensitive employee corporate identification data.

Broadcast events allow malicious software to rewrite the device's default Mobile Device Management (MDM) endpoint address, shifting administrative ownership to an external attacker.

The system Binder boundary accepts unverified pass-through AT commands, giving local applications the power to read baseband files or disable cellular connectivity.

Unchecked public access permissions on a core Broadcast Receiver allow unauthorized local software components to invoke administrative operations.

Acer Launch Manager 6.1.7600.16385 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the DsiWMIService that allows local users to potentially execute code with elevated privileges. Attackers can exploit the unquoted path in C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager\dsiwmis.exe to…

Acer Global Registration Service 1.0.0.3 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in its service configuration that allows local users to potentially execute arbitrary code. Attackers can exploit the unquoted path in C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer\Registration\ to inject…

Acer ePowerSvc 6.0.3008.0 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local users to potentially execute code with elevated system privileges. Attackers can exploit the unquoted path in the service configuration to inject malicious code that would execute with…

ListCheck.exe developed by Acer has a Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability. Authenticated local attackers can replace ListCheck.exe with a malicious executable of the same name, which will be executed by the system and result in privilege escalation.

The account validation endpoint /v1/User/validate returns comprehensive user profile data sheets, which can be crawled by iterating predictable identification strings.

The device encrypts data using AES-CBC with static zero-filled Initialization Vectors (IVs), making it susceptible to replay attacks and known-plaintext decryption.

Overly permissive configuration settings on cloud storage containers expose active telemetry information publicly to the internet.

The hard-coded APK resource files never expire, and the shared scepter leads to information leaks and potential misuse.

The Wi-Fi device blocking feature fails to sanitize MAC address input, allowing injection and execution of arbitrary shell commands.

Incoming VPN network profile settings fail to process special characters safely, enabling command injection via malicious config files.

Weak validation logic within device dissociation API routines allows a remote entity to forcefully unbind unrelated user endpoints, causing severe denial of service.

Leftover debug modules contain fixed credentials for internal AWS Cognito test sandboxes, risking asset exploitation.

A security vulnerability has been identified in Acer Care Center where the ACCSvc service creates a Named Pipe with a weak Security Descriptor. This vulnerability allows an authenticated local user to connect and send a specially crafted message (message type 0x03) to the pipe,…

The summary service endpoint suffers from an IDOR vulnerability where it fails to verify user ownership of hardware serial numbers, exposing device data to scraping.

Acer Portal app before 3.9.4.2000 for Android does not properly validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to perform a Man-in-the-middle attack via a crafted SSL certificate.

Fixed AES-128-CBC keys inside the AcerConnect OTA application let attackers forge authorization credentials for arbitrary IMEI numbers. This allows unauthorized actors to list catalog items and extract protected binaries from pre-signed cloud links.

The web administration panel binds broadly to the public IPv6 address space on port [::]:8080 without default firewall limits, making internal API endpoints reachable over the WAN.

Improper access control in the MQTT broker allows wildcard topic subscriptions, exposing all MQTT traffic to unauthorized actors.

Acer Notebook LunchApp.APlunch ActiveX control allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by calling the Run method.

An issue discovered in Acer Wireless Keyboard SK-9662 allows attacker in physical proximity to both decrypt wireless keystrokes and inject arbitrary keystrokes via use of weak encryption.
