CVE-2025-5491

CVSS v3.1

8.8

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Acer ControlCenter versions prior to 4.00.3058
Description The issue concerns a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Acer ControlCenter. The program exposes a Windows Named Pipe that uses a custom protocol to invoke internal functions. However, this Named Pipe is misconfigured, allowing remote users with low privileges to interact with it and access its features. One such feature enables the execution of arbitrary programs as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM. By leveraging this, remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
Recommendations Update to version 4.00.3058 immediately to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Windows Named Pipe to minimize the risk of exploitation.
