CVE-2026-49203: CWE-287: Improper Authentication in Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router
CVE-2026-49203 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router where crucial management API endpoints for cellular eSIM allocation do not properly validate caller authorization. This flaw allows remote attackers to rewrite or delete eSIM profiles without authentication. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4. 0 base score of 7. 2, indicating significant impact but requiring adjacent network access. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-49203) affects the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router. It involves improper authentication (CWE-287) in management API endpoints responsible for cellular eSIM allocation. Because these endpoints do not validate the caller's authorization, an attacker with network access can remotely rewrite or delete eSIM profiles on the device. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access (AV:A), has low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges or user interaction needed (PR:N, UI:N), and results in high impact on integrity and availability (VI:H, VA:H). No patch or official remediation details have been provided by Acer as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to remotely modify or delete cellular eSIM profiles on the affected device without authentication. This can disrupt cellular connectivity and potentially cause denial of service or unauthorized profile manipulation. The impact on confidentiality is low, but integrity and availability impacts are high. The attack requires adjacent network access, limiting exposure to local or network-adjacent attackers.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the device's management interfaces to trusted users only. Monitor for unusual changes to eSIM profiles and consider network segmentation to limit exposure. Follow Acer's official communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
