Critical ASUS Control Center Enterprise Flaw Allows Remote Root Access via CVE-2026-75754

A critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-75754 in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC) carries a maximum CVSS score of 10.0 and enables unauthenticated remote attackers to gain full control of the management server and all connected devices. The flaw stems from a combination of missing authentication on a critical function, a server-side request forgery (SSRF) issue, and hardcoded credentials embedded directly in the software. Attackers can craft a malicious HTTP request to extract the system’s encryption key, activate an SSH service on TCP port 2222, and use fixed credentials to obtain a root shell without any user interaction. Once inside, the attacker can read, modify, or delete data stored in the ACC platform and propagate the compromise across managed servers, PCs, and workstations. All versions of ASUS Control Center Enterprise through 4.0.0.2 are affected. ASUS released a security advisory on September 4, 2026, urging immediate updates to mitigate the risk.

A critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-75754 has been discovered in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC), granting remote attackers complete control over the management server and all administered devices.

The issue carries the maximum CVSS score of 10.0 and results from the combination of three weaknesses: absence of authentication on a critical function, a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, and the presence of hardcoded credentials stored directly in the software.

An unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to retrieve the encryption key used by the system. Exploitation then activates a local service that opens an SSH interface on TCP port 2222. Using the obtained key together with the product’s fixed credentials, the attacker gains a root shell without requiring any user interaction.

This level of access allows reading, modifying, or deleting any data stored within the ACC platform. Because the solution is deployed to manage servers, PCs, and workstations across an organization, the compromise can quickly spread to additional enterprise assets.

All versions of ASUS Control Center Enterprise up to and including 4.0.0.2 are affected. The vendor published a security bulletin on September 4, 2026, recommending immediate installation of the available update.

Telegram for Android Patches Voice Call Vulnerability Enabling Code Execution

Security researchers at NebuSec disclosed a vulnerability in Telegram for Android that allowed remote code execution after a victim answered a voice call. The flaw affected versions from 8.6.2 through 12.10.3 and was fixed in release 12.10.4 at the end of September. The issue stemmed from improper handling of MediaState service messages that carry microphone, camera, and video rotation data during calls. When a required field was missing, the application accessed invalid memory. NebuSec discovered the bug using its Code Security product running on a GPT-5.4 model and confirmed exploitation on ARM64 Android devices for personal calls. A demonstration showed the string “HACKED BY NEBUSEC” appearing roughly 30 seconds after the call was accepted. The vulnerability is unrelated to the earlier animated-sticker attack vector.

Yandex Patches Millions of Stations After eMudhra Certificate Keys Compromised

Yandex has automatically deployed security updates to millions of its smart speakers and partner televisions running YaOS between October 21 and 23. The patches address compromised intermediate certificates issued by eMudhra whose private keys consisted of trivial values from 1 to 255. Attackers who obtained these keys could generate fraudulent certificates and perform man-in-the-middle attacks against device HTTPS traffic. Enthusiasts demonstrated that local network control combined with the certificates allowed replacement of server configuration, activation of ADB, and acquisition of root access on the devices. The update removes trust in the affected certificates, overwrites compromised system files, and disables the debug interface. A factory reset restores the vulnerable firmware, so Yandex advises against resets without a compelling reason.

Cisco ASA and FTD Face DoS Vulnerability in SSL VPN Already Exploited in the Wild

Cisco Systems has disclosed a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting its Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and Cisco Secure Firewall FTD products. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-76418, resides in the SSL VPN remote access feature and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6, rated High severity. Exploitation occurs when secondary authentication is configured on tunnel groups, allowing an attacker to send a crafted request that forces a device reboot without requiring authentication. Cisco confirmed active exploitation of the issue in October 2026. Security updates addressing the vulnerability are now available for both affected product lines. The advisory recommends immediate application of the patches to prevent service disruption.
