ASUS Releases Security Updates to Fix Critical CVE-2026-13385 Router Vulnerability with CVSS Score 9.5
ASUS has issued security updates to address a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-13385 that affects multiple router firmware versions and could allow remote command execution. The flaw impacts devices running firmware versions 3.0.0.4_386, 3.0.0.4_388, and 3.0.0.6_102 across various home and small business router lines. It stems from inadequate validation of digital certificates and file integrity mechanisms, preventing proper authentication of servers or received content. Exploitation requires a man-in-the-middle attack condition on compromised networks or manipulated connections but does not need administrative credentials or user interaction. Users are advised to install the latest firmware for their specific models, disable unnecessary administrative features, and review any unauthorized configuration changes. The advisory emphasizes the high severity of the issue given its 9.5 CVSS score and broad device coverage.
