CVE-2026-49185: CWE-78 Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('OS command injection') in Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router
CVE-2026-49185 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router. It arises because the FieldX MDM adb messaging topic passes unverified payloads directly into Runtime. exec(), allowing attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4. 0 base score of 10, indicating maximum severity with no required privileges or user interaction for exploitation. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The vulnerability affects the device firmware or software but does not pertain to a cloud service. Due to the lack of vendor advisory or patch information, users should monitor for updates from Acer. No specific countries are identified as affected.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-49185) in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router involves improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (CWE-78). Specifically, the FieldX MDM adb messaging topic forwards unverified input directly into Runtime.exec(), enabling OS command injection. The CVSS 4.0 score of 10 reflects that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction and has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security requirements. The vendor has not provided a remediation level or patch information, and no exploits are currently known in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected device, potentially leading to full compromise of the router. This can impact confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security controls of the device and connected network. The critical CVSS score indicates severe impact if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released by Acer, users should limit exposure of the affected device to untrusted networks and monitor for vendor updates. No official mitigation or temporary fix is currently documented.
