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.

Hey again Gene, how come you have to get 15.XXXX intel ME version on your Asus ? and still getting vulnerable ? I also use the same Intel ME tool with the firmware gave here on this forum by mokuchi (it is less worse than we stated before, just a few stuff are locked but mainly, my OC is back to normal, in worst case, you can OC the FCLK through AI suite III and it is working, as much as other parameters).
The only issue so far I couldnt resolve is the Tj max on BIOS, that is still bugged (didnt try on the new 2601bios tho).

Oh and by the way, since I've updated my bios, Armoury crate doesnt detect any of my devices anymore (aura sync), neither voltages etc ...
Well well..

Sorry I missed this. I am using a z590 now.

Which model if I may ask ?

I assume Z590 have more recent intel ME firmwares updates (on Asus webpage ? seeing you on 15.xxx).
Since i've updated to the new bios, my pc is triple booting every time ... Dunno if it s bios related, or related to the bios vs firmware taken here, or even drivers downloaded here as well (ME drivers, chipset drivers etc ...)
