DescriptionCVE.org

Use of an Externally Controlled Format String in the ASUS Router modules allow a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted file uploaded through the web management interface.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated administrators of ASUS routers can execute arbitrary commands on the device by uploading a crafted file through the web-based management interface that is subsequently processed with an attacker-influenced format string by a vulnerable router module (CWE-134). The vendor's CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 (Critical) reflects complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the vulnerable component plus a scope change, but exploitation is gated by a pre-existing high-privilege administrator session per the PR:H vector metric, so exposure depends on whether the management interface is reachable by the attacker (WAN-exposed remote administration versus LAN-only) and on the strength of admin credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated, high-privilege (administrator) session on the ASUS router's web-based management interface, and the ability to upload a crafted file through that interface which is then processed by a vulnerable router module. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 (Critical) reflects full compromise of the vulnerable system plus a scope change (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H + SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) via an externally controlled format string (CWE-134) that yields arbitrary command execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation There is no vendor-released fix version enumerated in the available data, so patch status must be confirmed directly against the ASUS security advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory, which is the authoritative source for the affected-model list and the corresponding fixed firmware builds; the immediate action is to check the router's model against that advisory and apply the newest firmware ASUS publishes for it, and where no fixed firmware is listed yet, to treat the device as unpatched. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every ASUS router in the environment and determine which ones expose the web-based management interface to the WAN or to untrusted network segments; disable remote/WAN administration on all of them and restrict management access to a trusted LAN segment or VPN, then rotate the administrator credentials on every device, enforce long unique passphrases, and remove any default, shared, or stale admin accounts. …
