CVE-2026-8919
Permissive Cross-domain Security Policy with Untrusted Domains in ASUS GameSDK allows a remote user to obtain a local user’s NTLM hash by convincing the user to visit a crafted web page that sends a request containing a UNC path to the application’s local service endpoint. This can result in information disclosure or data tampering, may cause GameSDK to become unavailable, and may also enable access to the victim’s information on other services. Refer to the ' Security Update for ASUS GameSDK ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some data, alter some data and take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
