Exposed IOCTL with Insufficient Access Control in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to add an arbitrary process identifier to the driver's whitelist via a crafted IOCTL request by bypassing the driver's verification.Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
The Armoury Crate kernel-mode driver on ASUS systems exposes an IOCTL interface without adequate caller verification, enabling a locally authenticated low-privilege user to inject arbitrary process identifiers into the driver's trusted-process whitelist via a crafted IOCTL request. Bypassing this verification (CWE-782) allows the attacker's process to assume whitelisted trust status within the driver, gaining access to driver functions ordinarily restricted to ASUS's own software. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local Windows user account with at least standard (low-privilege) access on a system where the Armoury Crate application and its kernel driver are installed and running - the driver must be present and active. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is low. … 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 | Update the Armoury Crate application to the fixed version specified in the ASUS Security Advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory (see the 'Security Update for Armoury Crate App' section) - the exact target version is not available in the provided data and must be confirmed from the advisory directly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
