The MyASUS app can become a gateway for attackers. Two security vulnerabilities are to blame, but these have now been closed. If you do not update the tool, you risk unauthorized access to certain services.

This is the result of a warning message from the computer manufacturer. The two vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-4569 “high”, CVE-2025-4579 “medium”) affect the manufacturer's computers from the all-in-one PC, desktop, NUC, and laptop ranges.

Attacks can take place because of hard-coded access data in the form of a token. Equipped with this token, attackers can access certain unspecified services. The developers claim to have solved the security problems in versions 4.0.36.0 (x64) and 4.2.35.0 (ARM). It is currently not known whether there are already attacks.
