| Impact | Despite the absence of official CVSS scoring and EPSS data, this vulnerability warrants high priority assessment due to several risk indicators: (1) Attack vector is network-based and requires minimal complexity-only that an administrator visit an attacker-controlled page while authenticated to their router; (2) Technical impact is severe, enabling command execution on network infrastructure; (3) ASUS routers are ubiquitous in residential and small business environments, providing broad attack surface; (4) The CWE-352 classification indicates a well-understood and reliably exploitable weakness; (5) No KEV or POC availability is mentioned, but the simplicity of CSRF exploitation means weaponization requires minimal effort. This is not a low-priority issue-the absence of CVSS data should not diminish response urgency given the severity of impact and ease of exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker creates a malicious webpage containing embedded requests to the victim's router management interface (e.g., http://192.168.1.1/admin). When an authenticated router administrator visits the attacker's page in their browser, the CSRF vulnerability allows the attacker's requests to execute with the administrator's session privileges, potentially modifying network settings, creating backdoor accounts, or executing arbitrary system commands on the router. No POC is mentioned as publicly available, but CSRF exploitation is straightforward and does not require sophisticated techniques-simple HTML forms or JavaScript fetch requests are typically sufficient. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 26, 2026
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in the Web management interface of ASUS router models that allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform actions with the privileges of an authenticated administrator, potentially including arbitrary system command execution. The vulnerability affects ASUS router products across multiple versions due to insufficient CSRF token validation in the web interface. While no CVSS score or EPSS data is currently available, the ability to execute system commands on a network-critical device represents a critical severity threat.
RemediationAI
Users must apply the security firmware update provided by ASUS for their specific router model as documented in the ASUS Security Advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory/. Administrators should immediately check the advisory, identify their router model, and apply the patched firmware version. As interim mitigations pending firmware availability, restrict access to the router's web management interface to trusted IP addresses only, disable remote management features if not required, enforce strong authentication credentials, and consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy with CSRF token validation between users and the router interface if feasible in the network topology.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is rooted in CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery), which occurs when a web application fails to properly implement anti-CSRF mechanisms such as synchronizer tokens, SameSite cookie attributes, or request origin validation. ASUS router web management interfaces (identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:asus:router:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) handle sensitive operations including network configuration and system administration through HTTP POST requests. The lack of proper CSRF token validation allows an attacker to craft malicious web pages that, when visited by an authenticated router administrator, can trigger unintended state-changing operations and potentially escalate to remote code execution through embedded system command mechanisms.

DescriptionCVE.org
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the Web management interface of certain ASUS router models. This vulnerability potentially allows actions to be performed with the existing privileges of an authenticated user on the affected device, including the ability to execute system commands through unintended mechanisms. Refer to the 'Security Update for ASUS Router Firmware' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-15101 presents significant security risk, a cross-site request forgery vulnerability rated CVSS 8.5. Attackers could trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions, potentially modifying critical settings or data. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Implement Content-Security-Policy headers; (2) Enable HttpOnly and SameSite cookie attributes; (3) Deploy WAF XSS/CSRF rules.
