Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the FieldX MDM component of the Acer Connect M6E 5G router. The 'adb' messaging topic fails to validate incoming payloads before passing them to the 'Runtime.exec()' function. This allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject and execute arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the application. The vendor has acknowledged the issue and plans to remediate it by replacing shell invocation with rigid allowlisted parameters and introducing command-level authorization.
