CVE-2026-49204
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedLeftover debug modules contain fixed credentials for internal AWS Cognito test sandboxes, risking asset exploitation.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDebug modules left in the codebase contain hardcoded credentials for internal AWS Cognito test sandboxes. These fixed credentials could be discovered by attackers and used to access the test environments, potentially leading to further asset exploitation or lateral movement.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check firmware versionAccess the device admin interface or check the firmware file metadata to identify the installed version. Look for version string 'm6e_ai_1.00.000019' or earlier.Affected if The firmware version is m6e_ai_1.00.000019 or any earlier version.
-
Search for debug modules in firmwareExtract the firmware image and perform a binary or string search for debug-related file names, function names, or module identifiers (e.g., 'debug', 'test', 'sandbox' in filenames or function exports).Affected if Any debug modules, test utilities, or developer tooling are present in the production firmware image.
-
Search for hardcoded AWS credentialsUse grep, strings, or binary analysis tools on the firmware filesystem to search for AWS access key patterns (AKIA...) or secret key patterns, and specifically look for 'cognito' or 'aws' keywords adjacent to credential-like strings.Affected if Hardcoded AWS access keys, secret keys, or Cognito-related credentials are found in the firmware code or configuration files.
-
Inspect for AWS Cognito configurationsSearch the firmware for AWS Cognito configuration files, user pool IDs, identity pool IDs, or endpoint URLs that reference 'cognito-idp' or 'cognito-identity' AWS services.Affected if AWS Cognito test sandbox configurations, user pools, or identity pools are embedded in the production firmware.
A user is affected if the Acer Connect M6e 5g firmware version is at or below m6e_ai_1.00.000019 and contains debug modules or hardcoded AWS Cognito credentials for test environments.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRemove all debug modules containing fixed credentials from production code and rotate any exposed AWS Cognito credentials to prevent unauthorized access.
