ASUS has released an urgent security patch for its Wi-Fi 7 routers to address a critical authentication flaw. The vulnerability, affecting devices on the 3.0.0.6_102 firmware series, allows unauthenticated attackers on adjacent networks to bypass security and gain full admin access. Although local proximity is required, the ability to compromise a network hub without credentials poses a severe risk.
ASUS urges all affected users to install the update immediately via the router’s web interface or official support pages. For those unable to update right away, temporary measures include disabling WAN remote access, enforcing strong passwords, monitoring connected devices, and clearing unrecognized app sessions. A system reboot is recommended after applying the firmware.
