CVE-2026-75754: CWE-306 Missing authentication for critical function in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC)
Description
Missing Authentication for Critical Function, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), and Use of Hard-coded Credentials in ASUS Control Center allow an unauthorized user to obtain the encryption key via an HTTP request, causing a local service to enable SSH on port 2222. The attacker can then log in with the hardcode credentials to obtain a root shell, enabling direct reading, writing, and deletion of data on ASUS Control Center, as well as remote control of all servers, PCs, and workstations within the company. Refer to the 'Security Update for ASUS Control Center' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Technical Analysis
This vulnerability in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC) combines multiple security weaknesses: missing authentication for a critical function, SSRF, and hard-coded credentials. Exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to retrieve an encryption key through an HTTP request, causing a local service to activate SSH access on port 2222. Using hard-coded credentials, the attacker can log in with root privileges, enabling unrestricted access to read, write, delete data on the management platform, and remotely control all managed endpoints within the enterprise environment. The CVSS 4.0 score is 10.0, reflecting the critical severity and ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in complete compromise of the ASUS Control Center Enterprise management platform and all connected devices. The attacker gains root shell access, enabling full data manipulation and remote control of servers, PCs, and workstations managed by the platform. This represents a total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for the affected environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the ASUS Security Advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict network access to the ASUS Control Center management interface and monitor for unusual SSH activity on port 2222. Avoid exposing the management platform to untrusted networks. Follow ASUS vendor advisories closely for updates.
