CVE-2022-36439
AsusSoftwareManager.exe in ASUS System Control Interface on ASUS personal computers (running Windows) allows a local user to write into the Temp directory and delete another more privileged file via SYSTEM privileges.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
