## What is CVE-2026-75754?

CVE-2026-75754 is a critical vulnerability in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC), published on 4 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official 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.
Refer to the 'Security Update for ASUS Control Center' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials), CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality)

Affected product: ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
