Local access needed (AV:L) and a local user session realistically required (PR:L); the hard-coded key yields only limited protected-data and action exposure, so C/I/A all Low.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been identified in the Acer System Monitoring component included with NitroSense and PredatorSense. The vulnerability is caused by the use of a hard-coded AES encryption key within the software. Under certain circumstances, a local attacker may be able to use the embedded key to access protected information or perform unauthorized actions.
AnalysisAI
Local attackers can extract a hard-coded AES encryption key from the Acer System Monitoring component, which is bundled with NitroSense and PredatorSense on Acer Nitro and Predator Windows gaming laptops. Exploitation requires local access to read the software binaries and recover the key, after which the attacker may access protected information or perform unauthorized actions, though impact is limited to low confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects. …
