Firmware trust bypass via exposed signing keys
Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025
Hard-coded cryptographic keys in CLEVO Notebook System Firmware 1.07.07TRO1 allow attackers to install trusted malicious firmware. The B10717.exe update package exposes private keys for Boot Guard Key Manifest and Boot Policy Manifest signing, letting attacker-signed firmware pass early-boot verification. Exploitation requires physical flash access or a privileged software update path and enables persistent, stealthy control of the device.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
