Summary
Impact: Security Feature Bypass. Microsoft rating: Important. Not known to be exploited — Exploitation Less Likely. Customer action: Required.
Details
What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?
Successfully exploiting this vulnerability could bypass UEFI Secure Boot, a security feature designed to ensure that only trusted software runs when a device starts. This could allow an attacker with local administrator privileges or physical access to run untrusted code early in the boot process, before the operating system’s protections are active.
According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker to have administrator privileges on the target system.
