ASUS Hears About Many Big Risks in Routers and Tools, Says Gamers Nexus
A full look by Gamers Nexus has found many big, bad holes in the safety of ASUS products. Problems show in things from threats on routers to big holes in must-have tools like DriverHub, MyASUS, and Armory Crate, making a big and easy spot for bad attacks on users.
The Four Top Risks Found
The search by Gamers Nexus points out four key spots where ASUS things are weak now.
1. ASUS Routers The "AyySSHush" Bad Campaign
A live hit, also called "Ace Hush," is going at ASUS routers. Bad folks use many ways—like forced entry tries, sneaking by checks, and giving bad orders (CVE‑2023‑39780)—to put in bad SSH doors that stick around. These doors stay even if you reboot or update.
2. DriverHub and MyASUS Spill Info and RCE
Security pro Paul “Mr. Bruh” found deep holes in two ASUS tools:
- DriverHub: Found a no-click bad code run (RCE) hole.
- MyASUS/RMA Portal: Built-in big boss keys were there, showing user data like names, birthdays, living places, and phone numbers.
While ASUS made fixes in May 2025, Gamers Nexus said the firm did not do enough like giving good bug find rewards or real thank-yous.
3. Armory Crate Deep System Holes
Cisco Talos pro Marson Icewall Noga saw two deep system holes in Armory Crate’s ASIO3 driver. These holes let for direct links to core memory and low part hardware. Gamers Nexus warns that Armory Crate acts like risky extra stuff, as it may come back through BIOS settings and Windows updates even after removal.
Must-Do Steps for User Safety
With these risks still there, Gamers Nexus really says users should act now to make things safer. Here are key steps:
- Update Right Away: Put in the newest updates for your ASUS router and your system's main board.
- Do a Big Reset on Routers: After updating, a full reset helps clear any bad doors left in memory.
- Cut Out What You Don't Need: Get rid of tools you don't use, look at Armory Crate and DriverHub.
- Stop Automatic BIOS Installs: Go into your system's BIOS/UEFI and turn off any auto install settings for ASUS tools like Armory Crate.
End Note A Big Risk Spot
Gamers Nexus says that ASUS keeps putting out board-level tools, with these un-fixed holes, making a risky spot for users. Don't wait for more fixes, as some bad stuff is still out there. Cutting risky tools and updating are the best ways to keep safe.
