Last modified
CVE-2026-1880 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. An Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in the ASUS DriverHub update process allows privilege escalation due to improper protection of required execution resources during the validation phase, permitting a local user to make unprivileged modifications.
