Unauthenticated root shell via SSRF-enabled SSH
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
SSRF in ASUS Control Center Enterprise 4.0.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to gain a root shell through an unauthenticated HTTP request. The request discloses an encryption key and makes a local service enable SSH on port 2222, where embedded credentials grant root access. No account or user interaction is required; root access permits direct data reading, writing, and deletion and remote control of managed systems.
