in reply to anonymiss • • •and you have to ALLOW it.. because it needs you to interact very early in the boot process.. Just another efi bootkit hiding on the efi filesystem.. NONE of my servers are vulnerable because you have to interact with them directly to make any changes at all to the bios .. This has been in winsux for years.. So easily cured by doing away with software os level bios flashing.
Basically another "nothing to see here"
