> Critical 16-Year-Old UEFI Flaw Can Run Code Before Secure Boot on Network-Booting Servers

A critical 16-year-old flaw in EDK II, the open-source code that most hardware makers use to build UEFI firmware, can allow an attacker to run code on a machine before its operating system loads, but only while the machine is booting over the network. UEFI firmware is the software that runs first when a computer is switched on, before the operating system. An attacker who can reach the machine
