Critical ASUS Control Center Enterprise Flaw Allows Remote Root Access via CVE-2026-75754
A critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-75754 has been discovered in ASUS Control Center Enterprise (ACC), granting remote attackers complete control over the management server and all administered devices.
The issue carries the maximum CVSS score of 10.0 and results from the combination of three weaknesses: absence of authentication on a critical function, a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, and the presence of hardcoded credentials stored directly in the software.
An unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to retrieve the encryption key used by the system. Exploitation then activates a local service that opens an SSH interface on TCP port 2222. Using the obtained key together with the product’s fixed credentials, the attacker gains a root shell without requiring any user interaction.
This level of access allows reading, modifying, or deleting any data stored within the ACC platform. Because the solution is deployed to manage servers, PCs, and workstations across an organization, the compromise can quickly spread to additional enterprise assets.
All versions of ASUS Control Center Enterprise up to and including 4.0.0.2 are affected. The vendor published a security bulletin on September 4, 2026, recommending immediate installation of the available update.

eBPF Verifier Discrepancy Revealed: PREVAIL Accepts Safe Code Rejected by Linux Kernel Verifier
Researchers discovered that the same BPF object file receives conflicting verdicts from different verifiers. The program correlated_branch.c from the ebpf-samples repository passes verification under PREVAIL but is rejected by the Linux kernel verifier. The divergence occurs because the kernel verifier tracks scalar bounds separately from packet pointer offsets, while PREVAIL maintains explicit links between checked packet sizes and pointer states. The XDP function ConvergedBranch performs a bounds check via check_packet before accessing an Ethernet header, yet the kernel verifier fails to propagate the guarantee to the subsequent load instruction. Replacing the helper call with an inline comparison against data_end allows the kernel verifier to accept the program. The finding highlights that verifier rejection does not always indicate an actual safety violation in eBPF code.
Critical Zero-Day 'StyleSmuggler' Vulnerability Exploited in Adobe Commerce and Magento
A zero-day vulnerability dubbed StyleSmuggler is being actively exploited in Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution and install backdoors on e-commerce servers. The flaw allows attackers to inject malicious PHP code into files generated by the platform and then force the template system to process it, with the attack chain triggered during the generation of default transaction failure emails. Exploitation has been observed since September 4 and works even if the email is not successfully sent. Researchers have reproduced the attack on clean installations of versions 2.4.7, 2.4.8, and 2.4.9, as well as on a fully patched Magento 2.4.6-p15 system. After compromise, a Rust-based implant is deployed outside the store directory, masquerading as the process [kworker/u:8:0] and maintained via a cron job that restarts it every five minutes. As of September 6, Adobe had not released a CVE, official patch, or specific workaround, though the next scheduled security update is set for September 8.
