“An improper authentication control vulnerability exists in certain ASUS router firmware series. This vulnerability can be triggered by a crafted request, potentially leading to unauthorized execution of functions,” Asus warns in a security advisory.
A new firmware update is available for the 3.0.0.4_382, 3.0.0.4_386, 3.0.0.4_388, and 3.0.0.6_102 series.
CVE-2025-2492 is a vulnerability in the vendor’s latest networking devices. It’s uncertain if it is currently being exploited by threat actors.
“Update your router with the newest firmware,” Asus added.
The newest firmware can be found on the Asus support or relevant product pages.
Asus advises users unable to quickly update firmware or with end-of-life devices to disable AiCloud and other internet-accessible services, including remote WAN access, port forwarding, DDNS, VPN server, DMZ, port triggering, and FTP.
Asus also recommends using different passwords for the wireless network and router administration page.
“Use passwords that are at least 10 characters long and contain a mix of capital letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use the same password for more than one device or service. Do not use passwords with consecutive numbers or letters, such as 1234567890, abcdefghij, or qwertyuiop,” Asus’s advisory reads.
