CVE-2026-15029: CWE-822: Untrusted Pointer Dereference in ASUS System Control Interface v3
CVE-2026-15029 is a high-severity vulnerability in ASUS System Control Interface v3, ASUS System Control Interface, and ASUS Business Manager. It involves untrusted pointer dereference allowing a local administrator to perform arbitrary physical memory read and write operations via crafted IOCTL requests to the driver. This bypasses operating system memory protections. No specific affected versions or patch information are provided in the available data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-15029) is classified as CWE-822: Untrusted Pointer Dereference. It affects ASUS System Control Interface v3 and related ASUS software components. A local administrator can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted IOCTL requests to the driver, enabling arbitrary physical memory read and write access. This effectively bypasses OS-enforced memory protections, potentially allowing unauthorized manipulation of system memory. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.4, indicating high severity. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available to confirm remediation status.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows a local administrator to bypass operating system memory protections and perform arbitrary physical memory read and write operations. This can lead to unauthorized modification of system memory, potentially compromising system integrity and security. No information about exploitation in the wild is available.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the ASUS Security Advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict local administrator access to trusted personnel only and monitor for unusual activity related to the ASUS System Control Interface driver.
