Description

The ASUS System Control Interface (ASCI) is a key system component, typically implemented as a Windows service driver on ASUS laptops and desktops. It acts as a bridge between the operating system and the hardware-level functions managed by ASUS software, enabling features such as device-specific controls, performance tuning, and system monitoring.

A vulnerability exists in the restore mechanism of ASUS System Control Interface due to insufficient validation.

Successfully exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unprivileged user copies files without proper validation into protected system paths, potentially leading to arbitrary files being executed as SYSTEM.
