Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Acer NitroSense up to 5.2.63 and classified as problematic. This issue affects an unknown functionality of the component Electron DevTools endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

An unauthenticated local attacker can connect to the Electron DevTools endpoint exposed by Acer NitroSense software (versions up to and including 5.2.63) on localhost TCP port 9993. Because Chromium remote debugging is enabled in the production application, the attacker can execute JavaScript in the privileged application context and achieve arbitrary code execution.

The advisory is shared at community.acer.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-50228 since 06/04/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.
