CVE-2025-3052 is a Secure Boot bypass rooted in InsydeH2O firmware that lets attackers run unsigned code before the OS loads, defeating the boot integrity chain on Windows 10 Version 1809 and Windows Server 2019 systems. It carries Severity High with a CVSS of 8.8, and while it is not in CISA KEV or tied to ransomware yet, its 81 percent EPSS score signals that working exploit code is likely circulating. A bypass at this layer can survive OS reinstalls and undermine BitLocker and other boot-dependent protections.
Do this: Apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2025-3052 to your 1809 and Server 2019 fleet, then verify Secure Boot is enabled and the revoked bootloader hashes are enforced via the DBX update.
