Researchers discovered critical BIOS/UEFI vulnerabilities in the Illumina iSeq 100 DNA sequencer, where the device utilizes an outdated firmware implementation with CSM mode lacking essential security features like Secure Boot and firmware write protections. The vulnerability window allows attackers to exploit the system, potentially overwriting the firmware to either disable the device or install malicious […]
dood. if the attacker can access BIOS/UEFI of your DNA sequencer, the firmware is the least of your problems. i mean, it’s not great it’s vulnerable, but that tool should have a minimal hardened, read-only OS.
