Exposed IOCTL with Insufficient Access Control in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to read and write arbitrary PCI/PCIe configuration space via crafted IOCTL requests 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
Arbitrary PCI/PCIe configuration space read and write access through the ASUS Armoury Crate kernel driver exposes a local low-privileged user to hardware-level integrity and availability risks by bypassing the driver's IOCTL verification logic. All tracked versions of Armoury Crate are affected (CPE wildcard), meaning any Windows-based ASUS gaming system with the software installed is in scope. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an interactive local user-level account on a Windows system with Armoury Crate and its kernel driver actively installed and loaded. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H) accurately characterizes the constrained attack surface: exploitation is local, requires low privilege, but demands non-trivial reverse engineering of the driver's bypass condition (AC:H). … 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 Armoury Crate to the patched version specified in the ASUS Security Advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory - a precise target version number was not available in the current data set, so confirm the exact release from the advisory before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
