According to a report by security expert Kyle Lovett on the Bugtraq mailing list, critical security vulnerabilities exist in numerous ASUS routers and can be remotely exploited to take complete control of the router. The weak point is the AiCloud media server. If AiCloud is activated, unauthorised users can access critical system files over the internet – including files containing access credentials for the router in plain text format.


Attackers can use these credentials to access personal files stored on any devices connected to the router's USB ports. Attackers may also be able to use AiCloud to access network shares on other computers on the router's network.
