Incoming VPN network profile settings fail to process special characters safely, enabling command injection via malicious config files.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router allows authenticated adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by submitting VPN network profile configuration files containing unsanitized special characters. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.5 reflects high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the router, though exploitation requires high privileges and adjacent (not internet-facing) network access. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must (1) be on a network adjacent to the router - typically associated to its Wi-Fi SSID or plugged into a LAN port, not reachable from the public internet (AV:A) - and (2) already hold high-privilege administrator credentials to the router's management interface (PR:H). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Risk is moderate-to-high in the specific deployment context but narrower than the 8.5 score suggests in isolation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained administrator credentials to the router - for instance via default-credential reuse, phishing of the owner, or a prior credential leak - connects to the device's Wi-Fi or LAN and uploads a crafted VPN profile in which a field such as the server hostname or auth parameter contains shell metacharacters and an embedded command. When the router processes the profile, the injected command runs in the firmware's shell, giving the attacker arbitrary code execution on the gateway, from which they can sniff client traffic, pivot to internal devices, or persist via modified startup scripts. … |
| Remediation | Apply the firmware update referenced in the Acer advisory at https://community.acer.com/en/kb/articles/19707 as the primary remediation; an exact fixed firmware version is not enumerated in the provided intelligence, so administrators should pull the latest available image directly from Acer's support page for the Connect M6E. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
