Hundreds of UEFI products from 10 vendors are susceptible to compromise due to a critical firmware supply-chain issue known as PKfail, which allows attackers to bypass Secure Boot and install malware. As the Binarly Research Team found, affected devices use a test Secure Boot "Master key"-also known as Platform Key-generated by American Megatrends International, which was tagged as "DO NOT TRUST" and that upstream vendors should've replaced with their own securely generated keys.
