DescriptionCVE.org

UEFI BIOS embedded Shell could be used to bypass Secure Boot via shell commands or startup scripts.

AnalysisAI

Secure Boot bypass in InsydeH2O UEFI firmware allows a locally-privileged attacker to leverage the embedded UEFI Shell to execute shell commands or startup scripts that circumvent Secure Boot integrity enforcement, enabling pre-OS code execution outside the chain of trust. The vulnerability affects InsydeH2O across all tracked versions per the CPE wildcard, with remediation details deferred to OEM-specific advisories referenced in Insyde SA-2026004. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires one of two access paths: (1) knowledge of the BIOS administrator password combined with the ability to reach the BIOS setup menu (local physical or KVM access), or (2) direct physical access to the machine where the BIOS is either unprotected or has been unlocked. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H scores 8.2 (High), which reflects the high-privilege prerequisite but acknowledges the complete impact once that threshold is crossed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to obtain and apply BIOS/UEFI firmware updates issued by the relevant OEM, as InsydeH2O patches flow from Insyde to OEM partners before reaching end users as device-specific BIOS updates. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems using InsydeH2O firmware (check BIOS/UEFI version via system queries or manual BIOS inspection); contact device OEMs for patch availability and advisory references (Insyde SA-2026004); restrict local and physical access to affected systems. …
