ASUS Patches Critical Authentication Bypass Flaw in Multiple Router Models

ASUS released firmware updates to address critical vulnerabilities in multiple router models — notably CVE-2024-3080 (authentication bypass, CVSS 9.8) and CVE-2024-3079 (buffer overflow, CVSS 7.2). Fixed firmware versions are listed per model; Censys reported roughly 147,000 potentially exposed devices, and vendors recommend updating immediately to mitigate risk of unauthenticated access and remote code execution.
