Critical Vulnerability in ASUS Control Center Enterprise Allows Remote Root Access Without Authentication

ASUS has disclosed a severe vulnerability in its terminal management software ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC) that could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain root privileges. The issue, tracked as CVE-2026-75754, stems from a combination of hardcoded credentials, missing authentication on critical functions, and server-side request forgery flaws. Attackers can retrieve encryption keys via unauthenticated HTTP requests and then enable SSH on TCP port 2222 using the hardcoded credentials to log in as root. The flaw affects managed devices across an organization, potentially leading to data leakage, tampering, deletion, and full remote control. ASUS released a security advisory on September 4, 2026, and strongly recommends immediate updates. The vulnerability was reported by Security NEXT on September 7, 2026.

ASUS Releases Security Updates to Fix Critical CVE-2026-13385 Router Vulnerability with CVSS Score 9.5

ASUS has issued security updates to address a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-13385 that affects multiple router firmware versions and could allow remote command execution. The flaw impacts devices running firmware versions 3.0.0.4_386, 3.0.0.4_388, and 3.0.0.6_102 across various home and small business router lines. It stems from inadequate validation of digital certificates and file integrity mechanisms, preventing proper authentication of servers or received content. Exploitation requires a man-in-the-middle attack condition on compromised networks or manipulated connections but does not need administrative credentials or user interaction. Users are advised to install the latest firmware for their specific models, disable unnecessary administrative features, and review any unauthorized configuration changes. The advisory emphasizes the high severity of the issue given its 9.5 CVSS score and broad device coverage.
