Suppliers whose products are at risk include giants such as AMD, Intel and NVIDIA.
Vulnerabilities lie in the drivers of older devices, including software, BIOS, and operating systems. They open the door to attacks by allowing attackers to inject malicious code, change system privileges, and delete I/O instructions.
Researchers have presented evidence showing the seriousness of the problem. For example, one of them shows how an unprivileged user can run cmd.exe at the system integrity level in Windows 11 with Hypervisor protected Code Integrity (HVCI).
Responsible manufacturers have been notified of this issue, and some manufacturers, including Phoenix Technologies and AMD, have successfully fixed the vulnerabilities in a number of drivers. Intel also fixed the found flaw.
