High Memory corruption

CVE-2026-15029 — Untrusted Pointer Dereference in ASUS ASUS Business Manager

Untrusted Pointer Dereference in ASUS System Control Interface v3, ASUS System Control Interface, and ASUS Business Manager allows a local administrator to perform arbitrary physical memory read and write operations via crafted IOCTL requests to the driver, bypassing OS-enforced memory protections. Refer to the ' Security Update for ASUS System Control Interface ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

Technical severity (high)+6

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

EPSS FIRST

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (ASUS ASUS Business Manager, ASUS ASUS System Control Interface, Asus System Control Interface v3).
No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (memory corruption), errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
