Description
Missing Authentication for Critical Function, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), and Use of Hard-coded Credentials in ASUS Control Center allow an unauthorized user to obtain the encryption key via an HTTP request, causing a local service to enable SSH on port 2222. The attacker can then log in with the hardcode credentials to obtain a root shell, enabling direct reading, writing, and deletion of data on ASUS Control Center, as well as remote control of all servers, PCs, and workstations within the company.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC) allows an unauthorized user to obtain the system’s encryption key via an HTTP request, which in turn enables the local service to activate SSH on port 2222. The attacker can then log in using hard‑coded credentials and acquire a root shell. With this access, the attacker can read, modify, and delete data on the Control Center and remotely control all connected servers, PCs, and workstations within the organization.

Affected Systems

The affected product is ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC). No specific version information is provided in the data. The product is identified by the CPE "cpe:2.3:a:asus:control_center_enterprise_acc_*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*".

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 10, indicating critical severity. EPSS data is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is inferred to be a remote network exploitation via an HTTP request to the Control Center, allowing an attacker to trigger the SSRF and hard‑coded credential flaws. Once the attacker obtains the root shell, they can perform arbitrary read, write, and delete operations and exercise full remote control over the organization’s infrastructure.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest ASUS Control Center Enterprise update that addresses the SSRF and hard‑coded credential weaknesses.
  • Restrict external network access to the Control Center and enforce strong authentication on all management interfaces.
  • Disable the SSH service on port 2222 unless it is absolutely required, and ensure it uses secure, non‑hard‑coded credentials.
  • Monitor system logs for unauthorized SSH sessions and anomalous HTTP requests to detect potential exploitation early.
