That is a very old version of the Intel CSME detection tool you are using. The current one is 7.0.1.0 (there may be even newer, I did not check). To check against newer vulnerabilities, you have to keep the Intel tool updated. Your ME firmware version is vulnerable against one or more known security vulnerabilities.



Having said that a lot o the Management Engine vulnerabilities require physical access to the computer in order to exploit them. These are of low risk to most users.

I wouldn't update. The latest version in this post is faulty and you can't go back once you've flashed it. It will make some settings unavailable on your board, like BCLK, Max core Temp and possibly others. It is unlikely that the vulnerabilities will be exploited. A number require physical access to your machine.

In general, I also caught a cyclic reboot with the asus z490 APEX and intel i9-11900k. everything works with the 10850k, as I understand it, except by replacing the motherboard, I won't get rid of it? Or wait for the new ME firmware? How often do they go out?
