CVE-2026-8920 is a local vulnerability in ASUS Aura Wallpaper Service affecting versions 2.1.8.0 through 2.1.15.0 inclusive. The flaw involves external control of a file name or path together with improper restriction of communication to intended endpoints, allowing a local user to send crafted commands containing an arbitrary file path and bypass the service’s path restrictions. As a result, the service can be induced to perform unauthorized file operations on attacker-influenced paths. On specific models, exploitation can also render a single feature unavailable.
