DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Hardcoded AES-128-CBC cryptographic keys embedded in the AcerConnect OTA application allow unauthenticated remote attackers to forge authorization credentials for arbitrary IMEI numbers against the Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router (firmware ≤ M6E_AI_1.00.000019). Once credentials are forged, attackers can enumerate OTA catalog items and retrieve protected firmware binaries via pre-signed cloud storage links. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The AcerConnect OTA application binary must be obtainable by the attacker - either through direct firmware extraction from a purchased device, firmware image analysis from Acer distribution sources, or any other binary acquisition path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 is driven by a fully network-accessible, zero-complexity attack (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N), but impact is constrained to low confidentiality on the vulnerable system (VC:L) with no integrity, availability, or downstream scope effects. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker obtains the AcerConnect OTA application binary (e.g., via firmware extraction or public distribution channels), decompiles it using standard reverse-engineering tools to recover the fixed AES-128-CBC key, then crafts HTTP requests to the OTA cloud backend using forged credentials tied to an arbitrary IMEI number. This yields access to the OTA catalog listing and download URLs for protected firmware binaries, which can be retrieved without any device-side interaction or authentication. …
Remediation Apply the firmware update released by Acer that supersedes M6E_AI_1.00.000019; the exact patched firmware version is not independently confirmed from the provided data - consult the Acer advisory directly at https://community.acer.com/en/kb/articles/19707 for the specific target version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
