CVE-2026-49202: Acer Connect M6E improper authentication in multimedia session archives

CVE-2026-49202 · Severity: info · CVSS 8.8 · Published 2026-06-04

The Acer Connect M6E 5G portable router contains a security flaw where internal meeting recordings and multimedia archives are accessible to anyone on the network without a password. Additionally, weak web security settings (CORS) could allow a malicious website to steal these recordings if a user visits the site while connected to the router. This could result in the unauthorized exposure of private conversations and sensitive session data.

Technologies: Acer Connect M6E 5G Portable WiFi Router. Vendors: Acer.

Technical details

The Acer Connect M6E 5G router suffers from improper authentication (CWE-287) in its multimedia session archive endpoints. Internal meeting recordings are stored in a manner that does not require a valid session or credentials for access. This is further compounded by overly permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies, which allow an attacker to perform cross-site data theft if a victim's browser interacts with a malicious origin while connected to the router's local network. Attackers can remotely access and download these archives without any prior authorization. Acer is developing a firmware update to implement signed download links and restricted CORS headers.
