## What is CVE-2025-11901?

CVE-2025-11901 is a high-severity vulnerability in ASUS B460 series, published on 17 Dec 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability affects certain ASUS motherboards using Intel  B460, B560, B660, B760, H410, H510, H610, H470, Z590, Z690, Z790, W480, W680 series chipsets. Exploitation requires physical access to internal expansion slots to install a specially crafted device and supporting software utility, and may lead to uncontrolled resource consumption that increases the risk of unauthorized direct memory access (DMA).
Refer to the 'Security Update for UEFI firmware' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Weakness: CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)

What it is: CVE-2025-11901 is a high-severity vulnerability in ASUS B460 series, published on 17 Dec 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-11901 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: ASUS B460 series. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
