CVE-2026-50213: CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials in Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router
CVE-2026-50213 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router involving the use of hard-coded credentials. The vulnerability allows an attacker to access the account validation endpoint /v1/User/validate, which returns detailed user profile data. This endpoint can be exploited by iterating through predictable identification strings, potentially exposing sensitive user information. There is no official patch or remediation level currently provided by the vendor. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2026-50213 affects the Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router and is categorized under CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials). The issue arises because the account validation endpoint (/v1/User/validate) returns comprehensive user profile data that can be enumerated by iterating predictable IDs. This allows unauthorized access to sensitive user information without requiring authentication. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7, indicating a high severity with network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality. No patch or official remediation guidance has been published by Acer as of the vulnerability's disclosure date.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely access detailed user profile data from the vulnerable endpoint without authentication by exploiting predictable identification strings. This exposure of sensitive user information can lead to privacy violations and potential further attacks leveraging the disclosed data. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges, increasing its risk. However, no known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or remediation level has been published by Acer, users should monitor vendor communications for updates. Until a patch is available, restricting access to the device management interface and disabling remote management features where possible may reduce exposure.
