4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs

Summary

Improper initialization in certain ASUS motherboards allows a physically proximate user to read or write arbitrary memory by inserting a specially crafted device. Details are provided in the 'Security Update for Multiple ASUS Motherboards' section of the ASUS Security Advisory.

Risk Assessment

Someone with physical access to the machine can read or modify arbitrary memory contents, potentially leading to data theft or system compromise.

Recommendation

Apply the ASUS security update for the affected motherboards and restrict physical access to the hardware to authorized personnel only.

Other vulnerabilities in ASUS Motherboards

CVE-2025-11901High
An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability affects certain ASUS motherboards using Intel B460, B560, B660, B760, H410, H510, H610, H470, Z590, Z690, Z790, W480, W680 series chipsets. Exploitation requires physical access to internal expansion slots to install a specially crafted device and supporting software utility, and may lead to uncontrolled resource consumption that increases the risk of unauthorized direct memory access (DMA).
