CVE-2026-49199 is a command injection vulnerability in the MQTT broker processing logic of Acer Connect W6x consumer wireless devices. Crafted MQTT messages can reach vulnerable message-handling code and trigger execution of unintended system commands or scripts. The issue is associated with insufficient sanitization of incoming MQTT payload data at the application layer, allowing attacker-controlled messaging strings to influence command execution paths. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the target device with root privileges.
