CVE-2025-59374

"UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED" Certain versions of the ASUS Live Update client were distributed with unauthorized modifications introduced through a supply chain compromise. The modified builds could cause devices meeting specific targeting conditions to perform unintended actions. Only devices that met these conditions and installed the compromised versions were affected. The Live Update client has already reached End-of-Support (EOS) in October 2021, and no currently supported devices or products are affected by this issue.

Summary		(es) SIN SOPORTE CUANDO ASIGNADO. Ciertas versiones del cliente ASUS Live Update fueron distribuidas con modificaciones no autorizadas introducidas a través de un compromiso de la cadena de suministro. Las compilaciones modificadas podrían hacer que los dispositivos que cumplieran condiciones de segmentación específicas realizaran acciones no deseadas. Solo los dispositivos que cumplieron estas condiciones e instalaron las versiones comprometidas se vieron afectados. El cliente Live Update ya ha alcanzado el Fin de Soporte (EOS) en octubre de 2021, y ningún dispositivo o producto actualmente soportado se ve afectado por este problema.
