ESET researchers uncover a vulnerability in a UEFI application that could enable attackers to deploy malicious bootkits on unpatched systems
16 Jan 2025
ESET researchers have uncovered a vulnerability that, if exploited, would allow bad actors to circumvent UEFI Secure Boot and deploy malicious UEFI bootkits such as Bootkitty or BlackLotus on vulnerable systems. Tracked as CVE-2024-7344, the security flaw affects most UEFI-based systems and its exploitation would lead to the execution of untrusted code during the system startup process – even where UEFI Secure Boot is enabled and regardless of the operating system installed. The affected UEFI application is part of seven system recovery programs.
