GHSA-5VFG-HF4P-8HCF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:30 – Updated: 2023-12-31 21:30A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft Windows fails to handle file creation permissions, which could allow an attacker to create files in a protected Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) location.To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could run a specially crafted application to bypass Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) variable security in Windows.The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting security feature behavior to enforce permissions., aka 'Windows Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability'.
