Comment on One-Click RCE in ASUS's Preinstalled Driver Software
priapus@piefed.social 1 day agoonly applies to Windows (I think)
Well yeah, its a vulnerability in the windows software. Nothing they said implied otherwise.
and won't work without a permissions escalation.
I dont think thats true, could you explain why that would be? This article mentioned no need for a permissions escalation. In fact it seems that the RCE is automatically run as administrator by the driver process.

I love how on Lemmy Windows is not immediately assumed to be the default OS, lol.
Are we all Linux users?

Yeah, Lemmy has a VERY large Linux user base, which means Windows discussions tend to get mocked or dismissed. But the reality is that Windows is still the dominant OS for the vast majority of users, by leaps and bounds. Linux runs the world’s infrastructure, but Windows is what the average user boots up every day.
