| Apr 13, 2020 at 13:31 | comment | added | wmjdgla | The articles you linked have nothing to with UEFI Secure Boot. They refer to the widely misunderstood "Secure Golden Key Boot" vulnerability in the Windows Boot Manager (WBM). As soon as WBM executes, UEFI Secure Boot ends, and WBM is now responsible for signature verification of all EFI images (e.g winload.efi) that it chainloads. "Secure Golden Key Boot" only allows one to bypass this verification, not the signature verification done by the firmware (i.e. UEFI Secure Boot). The misunderstand is largely due to Microsoft's lax terminology in calling WBM's signature verification Secure Boot. | |
