CERT/CC gave this one a CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H. I'm kinda baffled about Attack Complexity: High there. Folks, signing UEFI apps with a custom cert is as complex as "apt install sbsign", and putting that cert into NVRAM is also trivial. AC:L, maybe?

Dell provided their Hydroph0bia (CVE-2025-4275) security advisory, with fixes only for 4 products so far: dell.com/support/kbdoc/… Now we can check how Insyde fixed the vuln, and if we could bypass the fix to make it work again. Stay tuned for part 3 of the writeup series.
