Asus has released new security patches for its MyAsus software, following fresh reports from security researchers highlighting flaws across multiple services.
The update applies to all compatible desktops, laptops, NUCs, and All-in-One PCs, addressing two vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2025-4569 and CVE-2025-4570.
The new versions are 4.0.36.0 for x64 systems and 4.2.35.0 for Arm-based computers – and users can update through the MyAsus app or via the Microsoft Store.

The CVE-2025-4569 flaw received a CVSS v4.0 score of 7.7, marking it as high severity. CVE-2025-4570 was rated at 6.9, a medium-level risk.
Both are resolved in the update. Asus also confirmed that is has addressed related issues in Armoury Crate, DriverHub, and specific router models, although details were limited. The company says all reported vulnerabilities have now been resolved.
This patch follows a string of vulnerability disclosures this year.
Back in April 2025, the company patched a critical vulnerability in routers using AiCloud, a service that lets users access and share files over the internet.
Tracked as CVE-2025-2492, it had a severity score of 9.2 and could allow remote attackers to execute functions without permission.
Asus urged users to disable AiCloud on unsupported models and update the firmware immediately.
Then in June 2025, Asus also patched CVE-2024-3080, a critical authentication bypass flaw affecting seven popular router models, including ZenWiFi XT8 and RT-AX88U.
That update also covered a buffer overflow issue and a system command execution bug, both tied to admin privileges.
In a related incident, a high-severity flaw tracked as CVE-2023-39780 was exploited by attackers to build a botnet using compromised routers.
That vulnerability allowed persistent access via non-volatile memory.
Asus responded by urging users to reset affected devices and use stronger credentials.
It’s important to keep your router secure – regardless of the make – by checking firmware regularly, updating software, and limiting remote access features whenever possible.
